I need help concerning free-bsd literature: Two books seem to be interesting ("the complete freebsd", "absolute bsd") but although I had a look at both I'm not quite sure which one to buy. What I want is a deep bsd-specific guide covering mostly freebsd related topic such as the kernel, system administration and of course as much networking as possible. I want to avoid paying for a 100-pages introduction to c-shell or bash (with wich I'm now familiar with) or a man-page like overview of the basic unix commands (ls and cd are under control now!). So which one of the two books would you recommend. If both are ok: what's the difference? Thanks a lot Florian ------------------------------------------------------ Linux/BSD: The daemons are not longer just in my head! ------------------------------------------------------ Florian Hengstberger e0025265@student.tuwien.ac.at http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0025265 ------------------------------------------------------
