Welcome to the latest issue of the FreeBSD Journal! This time, we’re focusing on networking, not just the technology, but also the tools and improvements that help connect people and systems more easily and securely.

In this issue, you’ll learn about Overlord, a fast and flexible way to deploy jails as you code. We’re also featuring a closer look at installer usability, including a comparison with other OS installers, lessons learned, and progress on improving FreeBSD’s own installation experience. If you’re curious about FreeBSD’s wireless support, don’t miss “Getting Started with WiFi Development”. Plus, all the regular content and columns you’ve come to expect.

The Journal is made possible thanks to the generous support of donors like you. If you find value in these articles—or in the FreeBSD Project as a whole—please consider donating to the FreeBSD Foundation. Your support helps us fund development, improve tools and infrastructure, and grow the community.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy the issue!
