Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My brother has agreed with me to install freebsd on his pc at home. There is a bookstore near here that has copies of "The Complete FreeBSD" including 4 cdroms for $20. But, it is version 3.0. I was very close to getting a copy to send to him, but I'm thinking it might be money well spent to get the latest. On the other hand, cvsup is very easy to use. I guess it's really the book that I'm concerned with. Will the book written for 3.0 remain useful for what's going on now? -- Best Regards, Joseph You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm. Colette.
