 I agree that it doesn't need to be duplicated in that article (else we'd be
 pretty much doing it in every article).
 
 Perhaps we should have a FreeBSD glossary, where all relevant acronyms and
 terms are explained.  This could then be easily included at the end of
 printed works, etc.  I'd be prepared to make a start on it, but I'd need
 help for sure.
