Hmm-m-m-m. I dunno. It kinda reads like the "FreeBSD Advertising Ourselves" Handbook. It's like it's targetted at people who haven't installed FreeBSD yet, or made the decision to, rather than people who have installed FreeBSD and are now trying to work out what to do with it. Chapter 6 is the most "new user-ish" bit there. It looks like I'm going to be around for the O'Reilly docs session, and a couple of days after that. Maybe we could get together at WC on Monday or Tuesday and brainstorm around it for a bit? N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month.
