"The Complete FreeBSD" is really great. Since you seem to have some Unix-background, it should be rather helpful, both for introduction and as an advanced reference manual. > Are there more and better books?

The FreeBSD version it covers is 4.6, but in conjunction with the html-manual it should give you most of the things you need. The manual (you can find it under /usr/share/doc or online) is really good, too. If you know German, you can also check out "FreeBSD 5" by "Computer & Literatur" (C&L). > Regards Vincent Kind regards, Benjamin --Signature=_Sun__18_Jan_2004_16_11_10_+0100_uR4dDJYuO_M3Wyzp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (NetBSD) iD8DBQFACqIT/JWwsvZUqOwRAjOuAJ95YVdoQKPVRXmkDBPMpsTyxHYrngCfXszR r68QQnthS6FY9UPENlq9EbY= =Jehl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Sun__18_Jan_2004_16_11_10_+0100_uR4dDJYuO_M3Wyzp--
