Just my $0.02, but "The Complete FreeBSD" is not a book to start with! It has a lot of valuable information, but skips over a great deal of "concept" (IMHO). Still, used in conjunction with a more rudimentary book, I think it makes a great reference. > There is more entry level info available than one person could read > in a good chunk of a lifetime, i.e., the University of Indiana has > some great tutorials. Agreed! You can also go to amazon.com and put in a search for UNIX, Linux and FreeBSD. This may give you a good idea of where to start. I also use Dave Taylor's "Teach Yourself UNIX in 24 hours". The title is kind of a joke, really, but the first half of the book is great for the beginner. (Anyone else's thoughts on this book? Around chapter 15, it stops making sense to me) Pete Vanderburgh Verio Web Hosting, Vienna VA. > > ML Duke > > On Mon, 3 May 1999, Judith Odom wrote: > > > Am needing experience in the Unix field. > > Any info or help would be appreciated. > > Thanx > > Jim > > jchristian@eurekanet.com > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
