If you can, buy either/both of these books: The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey The FreeBSD Corporate Networkers Guide by Ted Mittelstaedt They are great for beginners and intermediate users. Those were how I learned FBSD. And of course there is www.freebsd.org with The FreeBSD Handbook online, lots of tutorials, faq's etc. And the list freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org, as well as this list. I hope you will have as much fun as I have learning a new OS, now I use FBSD exclusively at home for my desktop OS, as well as two other machines running FBSD here at home. -- Chip Don Tyson wrote: > On the freebsd.org site look under "Resources for Newbies" and > find the link(s) to "For People New to Both FreeBSD and UNIX" by > Anneliese Anderson -- the best short introduction around.
