I just wanted to make a quick note on this. As far as I know, and the last I heard anything about it, O'Reilly was/is interested in doing a FreeBSD in a Nutshell book, but the reason it hasn't been published is because no one has written it :-) There are also a few other (4 or 5 IIRC) FreeBSD books being worked on by various people. > Would Walnut Creek take on such a project? I can't give a yes or no answer here, but we would still need someone to write the book whether it was us (WC) or O'Reilly doing it. > On a semi-related note, I once heard about a future magazine called > "BSD Journal" or something in the works. What ever became of that? I'm not sure what happened with this.. it seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.. - jim -- - jim mock - walnut creek cdrom/freebsd test labs - jim@luna.cdrom.com - - phone: 1.925.691.2800 x.3814 - fax: 1.925.674.0821 - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
