Explanation

Although every effort is made to create accurate instructions, sometimes the need for adjustment comes after a version of the handbook has been published. It is hoped that those changes are few and occur seldom. Here is where errors, omissions, and other changes or improvements will be recorded, organized by title and version.

PC-BSD Handbook

Beginning with PC-BSD® version 8.2, a PDF of the Users Handbook matching the released version is included as an icon on the PC-BSD® desktop. In addition, the Users Handbook is published in various formats as listed below. Translations of the Handbook are added as they become available and any downloadable file name will indicate the language with a 2-letter ISO code. If you are interested in translating a released version of the documentation, send an email to the PC-BSD® translations mailing list.
