   It is noteworthy that all prior FreeBSD documentation has been fully translated   
   into Chinese, including but not limited to the following materials:   
      
     • FreeBSD Release Notes (i386 or amd64)   
      
     • FreeBSD Status Reports   
      
     • FreeBSD Handbook   
      
     • FreeBSD Porters Handbook   
      
     • FreeBSD Articles   
      
     • FreeBSD Architecture Handbook   
      
     • Developers' Handbook   
      
   In addition, two classic works have been translated.   
      
     • A Quarter Century of Unix   
      
     • The UNIX-HATERS Handbook, an humoristic book written in 1994 about issues   
       that some users found in the UNIX operating system. It includes an   
       anti-foreword from Dennis Ritchie, one of the authors of UNIX, which he   
       wrote in a style similar to the one used in the handbook itself.

   The FreeBSD-Ask was initiated on 14 March 2021 by ykla from the Chinese FreeBSD   
   Community (CFC). It is an open-source publication written in Simplified Chinese   
   that aims to provide introductory knowledge about the FreeBSD operating system.
