If the entire FreeBSD handbook was available in an Archive--both Html and plain ascii text, I feel that a larger quantity of people would be passed a copy to read, or either print it out.

This is a good idea. Sometimes when you're after some specific bit of information, there's nothing quite like a grep through the entire handbook, and without having to be online to use the web search.

Actually, something that would help FreeBSD's professional presence is a PDF version of the handbook. Has anyone made the latex version, used some nice fonts, cleaned it up here and there, and tried running a free PDF creator? (This is something I definitely could've used yesterday while preparing a portfolio of work I've done (I wanted to include the printing chapter from the handbook).)
