FuguItaGuide

The FuguIta Guide†

FuguIta is a live system based on the OpenBSD operating system:

• You can obtain and use it for free, and you can easily use the functions of OpenBSD by simply starting the FuguIta written on a DVD or USB memory on your PC.

• Supports a wide variety of startup methods, so you can not only use it as LiveDVD/LiveUSB, but also easily and quickly operate a network test environment, and use application software just by turning on the power. It can also be used for applications such as building a turnkey system

The FuguIta Guide will explain all the know-how for using FuguIta, from how to create media and how to start it, to advanced applications and development methods.

• If you don't have much experience using Unix-like OS and want to know the basics of Unix, see How to use Unix.

• Those who have experience using other Unix OS such as Linux and FreeBSD and want to know more about OpenBSD, please refer to How to use OpenBSD.

Acknowledgments†

FuguIta's functionality is backed by OpenBSD's outstanding design and implementation.

Thanks again to Theo de Raadt and everyone in the OpenBSD development community for their many years of improving OpenBSD.
At the same time, I would like to thank the people involved in the various free software bundled with FuguIta and the user community.
In particular, the members of EBUG (Echigo BSD Users Group) provided the distribution site and provided various suggestions and advice. I am forever grateful.

I don't think it would have been possible to continue developing FuguIta for many years without them.
Thank you for your continued support of Fuguita.
