Hi there, > > I have installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 in my Pentimun server with 2x2G > IBM SCSI HDD, 64M RAM and 3C509 NIC.

Usually its assumed that the person installing any kind of Unix OS on his PC does have some basic understanding :) of what's going on As for the lack of the books on the topic ... well, the FreeBSD if well behind Linux in this sense :( There is the O'Reilly's set on BSD4.4 , but it's too general ..
