So I have been waiting for six months to be informed if Amazon can find any used copies of the 4.4BSD books from O'Reilly. Now, this seems to suggest to me that there is both a serious demand and a serious shortage of this content. However, I do have two volumns and a lot of the rest is on the web. It shows that this material is also out of date. How about updating all this for FreeBSD 4 (or 5 if this is a bigger project than I expect). Would Walnut Creek be willing to publish the series again? Might Bell Labs permit thier proprietary documents to be republished as needed? I do have rights to redistribute the dc document, so that shows some willingness. Would anyone else be interested in this? Have I asked this before? Have I just volunteered? :) On another vein, O'Reilly has contuned to disappoint me by not publishing a "FreeBSD in a Nutshell." Would Walnut Creek take on such a project? I realize the name cannot be used but the spirit of the book and its functionality is what needs to be copied :) On a semi-related note, I once heard about a future magazine called "BSD Journal" or something in the works. What ever became of that? Thanks, Jamie -- Jamie Howard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
