There's a whole shelf of books on the subject, all new and up to date, and _stacks_ of Red Hat linux boxes as well as a few SuSE and Caldera OpenLinux-Lite boxes and some slackware cd's with some of the books, but about all they have on BSD are the printed 4.4BSD manuals (which I don't think they're going to sell anymore there,) and a couple, highly technical books such as "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System." Nothing specific to FreeBSD is to be found there. :( Funny, cause they carry other cdroms from walnut creek there...
