Useful Links / Articles

[Ico]

Everyone has at least a handful of quite useful links in their bookmarks, I thought it would be a good idea to post some here for everyone who wants to learn more (myself very much included)

Not going to mention the freebsd.org references as they are obvious.

Here are a few for starters that I found useful:

Securing FreeBSD: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/08/08/FreeBSD_Basics.html
