A book is something you keep. - It's still possible to find old books ("second hand" shops, etc.) - When you run old version of FreeBSD (many people still run 2.2.8 for example) and old book can be useful. - When you do not speak english well and if an old book in your language existed, it can be interesting to know it... - It's also FreeBSD history, if FreeBSD.org does not keep track of them who will do it? and in the case we don't do it, so why keeping 2001 news archives for example? - etc. About the CD covers, well it's FreeBSD history as well, maybe some people would like to see cover of FreeBSD 2.0 CDROM for example > > The list of book should be sorted (the 1st book is far to be the best > > book:)). >=20 > What about sorting it following english alphabet? >=20 [...] Yes, it's what I meant; don't forget if you put unsorted lists of thing people would think the 1st one is the "supported" one.
