The Complete BSD is a great starters manual. I have the Handbook, but not in book form, and I rarely reference it because of this. The Complete BSD takes you step by step building a kernel, setting up source updates, etc. Some areas could be better covered (such as setting up gateways), but these areas are well covered on various web sites. I found I don't use about 60% of the book, simply because I don't use sendmail, or qpopper, but the other 40% I use quite regularly. I would be lost without it (I am a newbie). I would recommend it (if you can get a decent price on it), especially if your friend is new to FreeBSD. ...Michael... > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Sven > Vermeulen > Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2000 8:05 AM > To: FreeBSD questions mailinlist > Subject: diffrence between freebsd books > > > I want to buy a book for freebsd, I know there are the > FreeBSD Handbook and > the Complete FreeBSD Manual, but what are the differences > between these > books?
