I would not say that it goes very deep into it but gives the hints you need to be able to dig deeper. My copy is based on earlier 4.x and 5.0 version of FreeBSD. It should be updated meanwhile. I would not say it is really good, but it was good enough for me to start with FreeBSD those days.

What I found at Border's was a real beginner's book. Or, will I end up with a couple of books? I have the "Unix in a Nutshell" by O'Reilly but would like to zero in on BSD. > > Thanks, > Harry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-performance-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
