This is the only newsletter that I know
about-->http://www.freebsd.org/register.html, though I don't think it's geared
specifically towards newbies. You may want to start
here--->http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html Also, in response to your
question re: BSD, I'm quoting the first paragraph from p. xxix of The Complete
FreeBSD by Greg Lehey: "FreeBSD is a high-performance operating system derived
from the Berkeley Software Distribution, or BSD, the version of UNIX developed at
the University of California at Berkeley between 1975 and 1993. FreeBSD is not a
UNIX clone. Historically and technically, it has greater rights than UNIX System
V to be called UNIX. Legally, it may not be called UNIX, since UNIX is now a
registered trade mark of The Open Group."
