# Part I. Getting Started

This part of the FreeBSD Handbook is for users and administrators who are new to FreeBSD. These chapters:

- Introduce you to FreeBSD.

- Guide you through the installation process.

- Teach you UNIX® basics and fundamentals.

- Show you how to install the wealth of third party applications available for FreeBSD.

- Introduce you to X, the UNIX® windowing system, and detail how to configure a desktop environment that makes you more productive.

We have tried to keep the number of forward references in the text to a minimum so that you can read this section of the Handbook from front to back with the minimum page flipping required.
