I like "FreeBSD Unleashed" better than "The Complete FreeBSD." The former
is well-written as a general matter; the latter is less well-written. The
latter is very similar to the FreeBSD Handbook that is free online.
Sometimes, I read the Handbook but yet yearn for a better or different
explanation. If you turn to "The Complete FBSD," often it is exactly the
same text. This is not good. Get "Unleashed" to avoid this problem.

Subject: What is the best freebsd book?
I have read Annelise Andersons book and I think it is really good .
I want to get another one that is a bit more advanced in topics such as
web,ftp,mail etc
What is the best one available? Did anyone have the chance to proof read
Ultimate bsd?
