AFAIK the orielly books are fairly technical generally, maybe for Linux they can afford to produce a couple of simple "here's a getting started guide" type books, but probably not for FreeBSD. Bearing in mind they'll want to make some money on it, it's probably fair, however it would be in FreeBSD's interests to probably put this high priority. Steve P.S. Forgot to mention that I know nothing (like manuel from faulty towers), and could never write a book because I've no idea how to formulate a readable sentence... that's just in case anyone thought that's what I meant.
