From what I've seen on Amazon, it looks like Absolute FreeBSD is a follow-up to Absolute BSD. For the record . . . title changes for new editions like that annoy me. It can make it pretty difficult at times trying to determine whether or not I'm about to buy a duplicate. The switch from Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules to Intermediate Perl was another example of that sort of annoyance. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Sen.
