It's a little hit and miss depending on your level and the software you run (iirc Bash is the only shell it talks about which considering it's not even part of the base system is a bit annoying but I guess a lot of people do prefer Bash, especially Linux converts). It's not a bad price for a computing book especially as it does come with an OS and there are far worse things to spend your money on. Because of it's size it does make for a pretty handy book to have near your machine for those things you don't do very often and/or stand to read another man page about. http://www.bsdtoday.com/2001/December/Features612.html Kevin -- kevin@caomhin.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
