    For general acronyms, use http://www.acronymfinder.com

    For information on bikesheds, check the FreeBSD FAQ:
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html

    And, for information on GEOM, SMP, and the like, read through the
    release notes and other documentation for FreeBSD 5.x. There are links
    to these on the main http://www.freebsd.org website.
