<p>The rapid pace of FreeBSD progress makes print media
impractical as a means for following the latest
developments. Electronic resources are the best, if not the
only way stay informed of the latest advances. Also, since
FreeBSD is a volunteer effort, the user community also serves
as the technical support department and invariably,
electronic mail and Usenet news are the most effective way of
getting technical problems resolved.
Below, the most important points of contact with the FreeBSD
user community are outlined. If you are aware of other
resources not included, please send them to
<tt>doc@freebsd.org</tt> so they may be included.

<chapt><heading>PC Hardware compatibility<label id="hw"></heading>
<p>Issues of hardware compatibility are among the most
troublesome in the computer industry today and FreeBSD is by
no means immune to trouble. In this respect, FreeBSD's
advantage of being able to run on inexpensive commidity PC
hardware is also its liability when it comes to support for
the amazing variety of components on the market. While it
would be impossible to provide a exhaustive listing of
hardware that FreeBSD supports, this section serves as a
catalog of the device drivers included with FreeBSD and the
hardware each drivers supports. Where possible and
appropriate, notes about specific products are included.
As FreeBSD is a volunteer project without a funded testing
department, we depend on you, the user, for much of the
information contained in this catalog. If you have direct
experience of hardware that does or does not work with
FreeBSD, please let us know by sending email to
<tt>doc@freebsd.org</tt>. Questions about supported hardware
should be directed to <tt>questions@freebsd.org</tt> (see
<ref id="eresources:mail" name="Mailing Lists"> for more
information). When submitting information or asking a
question, please remember to specify exactly what version of
FreeBSD you are using and include as many details of your
hardware as possible.
