But most of the Linux books are talking things that are equally applied to FreeBSD, such as X-windows, shell, basic Unix maintenance, etc. However, if you look for books discussing traditional Unix design, many of them are already there for long time. I use FreeBSD a lot, but I also have some Linux kernel experience (I have guided students doing Kernel projects on Redhat 6.2). I still think FreeBSD is better designed O.S. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
