A wonderful book I am reading right now is "Essential System Administration" By Aeleen Frisch. Its an O'Reilly publication. She really does a good job about Unix: BSD & system V but also the meaning and what essentially system admin is (hmmm, sounds like she said that already). Personally, i found Unix Powertools too difficult for a newbie and it works much better as a reference manual for specific topics. Just my 2 cents. --- Piet Delport <siberiyan@mweb.co.za> wrote: > On Wed, 03 Oct 2001 at 23:25:52 +0100, Kastaki wrote: > > I am new to Unix, let alone freeBSD, and was hoping on > getting some > > advice on books that are a must to read?? > > I can highly recommend O'Reilly's _Unix Power Tools_, > once you're > comfortable with Unix basics.
