I'm just getting into programming and was pondering installing the FreeBSD on my system because of its supposed solidity as a operating system..But I have a few questions. I recently purchase the PC Upgrade and Repair Bible and it has the 4.4BSD on a cdrom and in the book it says you can get the manual to the operating system from Walnut Creek CDROM.But, I've been there and the only thing there that i can find is the 2.2.6FreeBSD..would that be the same manual?!?...and also it mentions in the book about4.4BSD-Lite but it never really tell which version is on the disc..or are they the same? And also what about the actual UNIX system itself..is the FreeBSD the same system or are the two totally different??..How do you obtain the actual UNIX operating system itself??..I have never seen it for sale anywhere. But anyway my main question was about the manual for the FreeBSD 4.4 and where to get it and if I had the full version on the cdrom that I have in my possession?? I would appreciate your reply and any information you could possibbly help me out with. Thank You Very Much, William Wood.
