Comparing intro.1 to intro.8:
Section one of the manual contains most of the commands which comprise
the BSD user environment. Some of the commands included in section one
are text editors, command shell interpreters, searching and sorting
tools, file manipulation commands, system status commands, remote file
copy commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler tools, formatted
output tools, and line printer commands.
-----
This section contains information related to system operation and
maintenance.
It describes commands used to create new file systems (newfs(8)), verify
the integrity of the file systems (fsck(8)), control disk usage
(edquota(8)), maintain system backups (dump(8)), and recover files when
disks die an untimely death (restore(8)). Network related services like
inetd(8) and ftpd(8) are also described.
Well, yes, I suppose you could make a case for section 8, but it's not a
perfect fit, especially if you consider packages/ports to be external to the
FreeBSD operating system itself.
