I as well as many others look towards that book as the bsd bible. It truly is a must-have whereas all your freebsd questions will most certainly be answered. The Complete FreeBSD book in conjunctions with the online handbook/tutorials/faq's at www.freebsd.org as well as this mailing list will leave 99.9% of all questions unanswered. - enjoy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
