There are a number of books to read for these topics. One set is the pair by Kirk McKusick called "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 DBS Operating System" which is a follow on to his earlier "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3 BSD UNIX Operating System" In Addition there are books such as FreeBSD Unleashed and the Complete FreeBSD which give more specific useage information and such books as as "DNS and BIND" from O'Reilly, Building Internet Firewalls from O'Reilly that give more information on specific areas. You can also study the FreeBSD Handbook that is available online from the www.freebsd.org website for specifics and release notes for each version that explain changes in each new version. If that is not enough, then Google, Onlamp and a number of other online publications have loads if articles on everything you mentioned. You have but to do some searches. ////jerry > > > We look forward for your speedy reply. > > > Thanks and Regards, > > > Jeff Neufield > > _________________________________________________________________ > Fast.
