The primary means of support for FreeBSD is the freebsd-questions
mailing list, accessed in a similar manner to however you accessed
this list. You will also find a great deal of Linux/UNIX information
directly applicable to FreeBSD, and more applicable with
little translations for platform differences, etc. There is a lot of
consistency between UNIX variants; shell scripting questions would
probably be on topic on most generic UNIX forums, and questions about
rc.conf (FreeBSD's "main" configuration file in the /etc directory)
might be mildly off-topic or better addressed to a more specifically
FreeBSD-oriented forum.
http://www.google.com/bsd has a lot of answers.
If you're new, it'd be helpful to read the FreeBSD handbook. It'll
answer questions you didn't even realize you had yet. It's linked off
of http://www.freebsd.org. FreeBSD is one of the better-documented
open-source operating systems around.
