+0.0.1 What is FreeBSD?  
+
+FreeBSD is a UN*X type operating system based on William Jolitz's port
+of UCB's Networking Release 2 to the i386, 386BSD.  It is no longer
+safe to say that FreeBSD is only 386BSD with the patchkit applied!  There
+have been large additions and bug fixes made through out the whole system.
+Here are some of the highlights of FreeBSD:
+
+   More robust device drivers and more of them 
+   SysV IPC
+   Shared Libraries (Dynamic)
+   Improved virtual memory code
+   Addition of other utilities and applications
+
