Hi Tom, I've just committed a new section to the preface with pointers to the Filesystems and DTrace chapters you committed, and also the Virtualization chapter I committed in 2007. There are others (e.g. updating) but I wasn't sure if some of that content was moved from other chapters (cutting edge?) as if so we'd want to mention that in the preface item for that new chapter. Please take a look when you get a chance and add a few more items to this section about some of the work you've done recently. We presumably also need something about the security event auditing chapter. Thanks, - Murray On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 3:53 PM, Tom Rhodes <trhodes@freebsd.org> wrote: > On Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:29:59 +0200 > Manolis Kiagias <sonic2000gr@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Tom Rhodes wrote: >> > On Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:05:55 -0800 >> > "Murray Stokely" <murray@stokely.org> wrote: >> > >> > >> >> Thanks Manolis.
