On 2001-09-11, Andrew Kendall scribbled: # Much of the documentation is helpful, but what I am really looking for # is a good book which presents an overview of the structure of UNIX / # FreeBSD, outlining the multiplicity of components and files. Something # that explains the concepts. Yes, I’ve got the installation notes # along with some system admin stuff, but I need that crucial background. # Something that tells me precisely what files and binaries are necessary, # what they do, and where they are located. I would probably try out the following books: - FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for your PC by Annelise Anderson small plug for me... you can find a review of the book at: http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200109/fbsd_bookreview.html it's kind of lengthy, but it might help you figure out if it's right for you) - The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey It's a nice book and it's the one that got me started in FreeBSD. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
