I that process I made a few comments about how I felt about writing it; I think I had to rate it one way or the other, and I was not about to rate it lower than other people had. For its intended audience (new users to FreeBSD and UNIX in general) I do think it's good. It now comes with two installation CD's (at least the Amazon copies have them)--a 4.4 and a 4.6. In a couple of months I have to decide whether to do a Third Edition that also covers 5.0, whether it is at the time -current or -release. If anyone has any general or specific suggestions about revision I'd be interested in hearing them.
