There's a short list at the bottom of: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bibliography.html of which I can personally recommend "Absolute BSD". There is also "FreeBSD unleashed" which I had no chance to look at. It seems people are happy with it, at least the people who typically post responses to "which FreeBSD book should I buy?" questions. [BTW, would one of the satisfied readers of "FreeBSD unleashed" care to send a PR to update the page above with a link to it? I feel uncomfortable doing that has I haven't read it] -- Dan Pelleg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
