The canonical one is "The FreeBSD Developers' Handbook" (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html) Also, see the FreeBSD Documentation pages for information on paper books. http://www.freebsd.org/publish.html While a bit out of date, Kirk McKusick and George Neville-Neil's "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System", ISBN 4-7561-4679-1 is still probably the most detailed presentation on the OS internals. Based on FreeBSD 5.2, it is the modern kernel and driver design, but it is still nearly 5 years old. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
