I recently got a copy (or more precisely got the time to read my copy), and I've found it quite useful. Admittedly, I've been playing with FreeBSD for about a year and a half now, but I wouldn't consider myself an advanced user. The nice thing about the CNG is that Mittelstadt (sp?) explains a lot of the whys and wherefores of the system. This has been somewhat more helpful to me than some other books. I'm also pretty fond of The Complete FreeBSD (Lehey). I've heard good things about Annelise Anderson's book, but haven't picked it up. HTH Marci ===== Marriage, n.
