Bruce" Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Howdy, We are planning to print books containing the FreeBSD Handbook and FAQ. We hope to send it to the printer in about 60 days. It takes about three weeks to prepare the plates, and print the books and about another month for the books to show up in the bookstores. So they should be hitting the shelves around January/February. That is about the same time FreeBSD 3.0.2 will be appearing (the first "-stable" release of the 3.X branch), so we would like to update the Handbook and FAQ so they document 3.X instead of 2.X. Does anybody have a guess about how much work this will take? Are there any other major changes that need to be made before these documents are published? -bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
