       <p>FreeBSD is a 4.4BSD-Lite based operating system for Intel
       architecture (x86) based PCs.  For an overview of FreeBSD, see
       <ref id="nutshell" name="FreeBSD in a nutshell">.  For a
       history of the project, read <ref id="history"
       name="a brief history of FreeBSD">.  To see a description of the
       latest release, read <ref id="relnotes"
       name="about the current release">.  If you're interested
       in contributing something to the FreeBSD project (code, equipment,
       sacks of unmarked bills), please see about <ref id="contrib"
       name="contributing to FreeBSD">.

     <p>If your connection to the Internet is through a modem, or
     you wish to provide other people with dialup connections to
     the Internet using FreeBSD, you have the option of using PPP
     or SLIP.  Furthermore, two varieties of PPP are provided:
     <em>user</em> (sometimes referred to as iijppp) and
     <em>kernel</em>.  The procedures for configuring both types
     of PPP, and for setting up SLIP are described in this
     chapter.

     <p>FreeBSD is under constant development between releases.  For
     people who want to be on the cutting edge, there are several
     easy mechanisms for keeping your system in sync with the latest
     developments.  Be warned: the cutting edge is not for everyone!
     This chapter will help you decide if you want to track the development
     system, or stick with one of the released versions.</p>
