However, I would not simply hand this book to someone brand new to FreeBSD; it could turn them off due to its size. I began my first exposure to FreeBSD by reading the manual and buying a copy of Annelise Anderson's "FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System For Your Personal Computer." As I began to expand and experiment, I turned to "Unleashed." As I began to build and integrate networks, I turned to "The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide" by Ted Mittelstaedt. His book is designed more towards using FreeBSD in a mixed environment, particullary with Windows servers. Good luck, and welcome to the world of FreeBSD!
