Also the 'For Dummies' series of books are good too. They have their handbook versions which pretty much give you the command and what it does with a brief example, very useful. I learned on 'Unix for Programmers,' by <mummble> Glass, ironically in it's time it was as close to a dummies book as you could get...:) It was geared towards programmers who had never been in to a unix prompt before. > Microsoft product for that matter.

Except for the 5 megs worth of code called an Easter Egg..... :) If I wanted to know who programmed it, I'd read the documentation...:) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
