Greetings, Mr. Lehey, Thanks for the great book! I am just starting to learn FreeBSD and I think "The Complete FreeBSD" plus the FreeBSD Handbook beats the heck out of any pair of books out there for Windows and even Linux! I own the fourth ed, by the way, but thank you for making it available for download! -- Bryan --- Greg Lehey <grog@FreeBSD.ORG> wrote: > The trouble with books is that you can't update them > the way you can a web page > or any other online documentation.
