But...if I may make another suggestion, the BSD Hacks book, by Dru Lavigne published by O'Reilly, has some really nice tips in it. I got it a few days ago and have been skimming it...so far it's pretty cool. A colleague said that he's found a few errors, but just like any other reference, check what you read. If you are going to look at getting any O'Reilly book tho, try getting it from Amazon or BookPool...it's silly to pay full price for them. :) Hope this helps! --Brian On Thu, 9 Dec 2004 13:32:33 +0100, Florian Hengstberger wrote: > Hi! > I need help concerning free-bsd literature: > > Two books seem to be interesting ("the complete freebsd", > "absolute bsd") but although I had a look at both I'm not quite > sure which one to buy. > What I want is a deep bsd-specific guide covering mostly freebsd related topic > such as the kernel, system administration and of > course as much networking as possible. > I want to avoid paying for a 100-pages introduction to c-shell or > bash (with wich I'm now familiar with) or a man-page like overview > of the basic unix commands (ls and cd are under control now!). > So which one of the two books would you recommend. > If both are ok: what's the difference? > > Thanks a lot > Florian > > ------------------------------------------------------ > Linux/BSD: The daemons are not longer just in my head! > ------------------------------------------------------ > Florian Hengstberger > e0025265@student.tuwien.ac.at > http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0025265 > ------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
