<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <br>Hi, <br> I installed FreeBSD 4.1 and its working fine. I am able to do everything that I used to do in Linux. But I want to go deeper, so I went to amazon.com and ordered the following books: <p>Essential System Administration (O'Reilly) <br>TCP/IP System Administration (O'Reilly) <br>Learning Perl (O'Reilly) <p> At one stage I was a bit confused, I had 2 books in front of me, UNIX System Administration Handbook and Essential System Administration. Both in my view address approximately the same issue, they have almost the same number of pages and both received 4.5 stars in the overall reader rating at amazon, but eventually, I went with O'Reilly's big name and ordered Essential System administration. So someone who has read both the books please comment on my decision, do I *need* the other book too? <p> And anyone who has read UNIX power tools (O'Reilly) please kindly tell me if I should buy it or not. And also recommend some other books that could help me with acquiring System Administration skills. I have Greg's VERY nice book (The Complete FreeBSD), but are there any other books apart from the handbook that deal only with FreeBSD? <p>Thanks in Advance for any feedback. <p>P.S: I use my father's Credit Card and he has put a limit on my spending so the last thing I want is to order something that I don't need. :-) <pre>-- Assad Khan | assad.khan@usa.net AIM: PAKHTOON 1 ICQ: 14417800 DALnet: Blast^RADIUS</pre> <p> </html> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
