Hi,

I am new to Bsd. I did a lot of research on the net which book should I 
start with.
I got two of them. I can not deside which one should I start.
Here are my books::
- The Complet FreeBSD. 4th Edition
  From O'Reilly, Greg Lehey.

- Absolute BSD The ultimate guide to FreeBSD.
  From Michael Lucas.

Thank you for all the advise.

Laszlo

One more questione the complete freebsd covers
Bsd 5. I have the FreeBsd 4.8.
Do I need to buy the version 5 ??

Thank you again
