I have a book, Unix Unleashed (SAMS, 3 ed.) but i often find that things in fbsd aren't exactly like the way they are in the book, i.e., the book speaks a lot to sys v, aix, linux, irix, but not fbsd. Has anyone read the book, The Complete Free BSD? Is it very comprehensive as to fill in the gaps where a generic unix book falls short? Also, is there some place where i can find a detailed description of all ports, meaning what each pgm does? thanks rs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
