Tangentally related, in the past I got caught out by googling the FreeBSD manpage for something, and the google hit went to the version for Linux. This wasn't even for a port, but a specific Linix distro. On the FreeBSD website, with the FreeBSD logo and the heading "FreeBSD Manual Pages", I missed the small drop down box saying "Redhat", or whatever. I can't remember the command/URL off hand, but here are some examples. The command I looked up gave a result less obvious than these, but you get the point: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ionice&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=Ubuntu+24.04+noble&arch=default&format=html https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ls&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=SunOS+4.1.3&arch=default&format=html I don't think that the man.freebsd.org site should hold man pages for other operating systems, or discontinued FreeBSD versions. At the very least, they should not have a FreeBSD banner, and/or be hosted on a different URL and/or marked as non-indexable in search engines. Cheers, Jamie
