Design and Implementation is great, I've got that too, but only if you're interested in the system's internals - I didn't get that impression from the OP's message. Also - I think it's *mostly* relevent not, "totally", relevent. Things have changed in FreeBSD since those days I think, but the foundations are still the same and it's all useful information reguardless. Andrew
