The purpose is to be a guidebook listing various utilities available in FreeBSD that a new (or not so new) admin might not be familiar with or, if he/she knows about them, perhaps he doesn't quite know what they can do. Right now I basically have a skeleton of utilities written up. You can find the HTML at http://www.causa-sui.net/common-utils/ and the SGML at http://www.causa-sui.net/cu-src.tar.bz2. Please let me know what you think, all comments welcome, etc. Specifically let me know if you think this is different enough from the handbook to warrant its own book (to me the handbook seems task-oriented, whereas this project has no specific tasks in mind, its only goal is to breed awareness and perhaps familiarity). Thanks, Toby
