Literature Sources and Infrastructure

The initial structure of this book is based on Smile_Zheng. Operating System Notes[EB/OL]. Baidu Tieba. [2026-04-04]. https://tieba.baidu.com/p/7424071955. It primarily referenced the firewall chapter and the users and permissions chapter. The original notes mainly cited FreeBSD Unleashed (Tiemann B, Urban M. FreeBSD Unleashed[M]. Wisdom East Studio, trans. Beijing: China Machine Press, 2002.), and also referenced blog posts by 🎀🌸 Xingbumeng 🌸🎀 (Internet Archive snapshot).

In the third edition of this book, we have drawn upon content from the FreeBSD Documentation Project to supplement the theoretical, command option, and historical sections. For license information, see the COPYRIGHT file.

Apology

Due to historical reasons and insufficient understanding of open-source licensing norms, we failed to properly attribute sources and authors as required by the original authors. We sincerely apologize for this. If readers have any questions, please contact [e-mail].

As part of the project's goals, we will rewrite all relevant chapters as soon as possible and standardize the attribution of sources and authors.

Community Management and Technical Maintenance

Chao Pinghe Busters (QQ nickname/WeChat name) has played an important role in the management of this community and its documentation, as well as the operation of the QQ group, WeChat official account, and WeChat group, and has created and maintained multiple associated accounts for this community.

The early initiator of this project was clean-master. He funded the creation of the domain freebsdcn.org (no longer in use) and created the currently maintained homepage at https://bsdcn.org. He encouraged ykla to create the project to maintain the related FreeBSD tutorials.

Roberta Wheeler previously funded the deployment and maintenance of this project's server (now switched to GitBook and GitHub Pages free services), and also wrote some articles.

safreya developed two open-source tools for exporting this project's PDF documentation (still in use), and wrote a large number of articles.

Simple, former bar manager of the Ubuntu Bar, once suggested modifying the project's chapter filenames and license agreement, which improved the maintainability of this project.

The domain bsdcn.org for this project is sponsored by the Chinese FreeBSD Community (CFC) and ykla.
