I find the Handbook to not look very well due to its SGML nature and one page per "chapter" layout. The roff generated docs are nice proper papers. Not to mention, they can be read without a network connection or GUI application. (sure there's lynx, but its formatting of the Handbook is even worse than a GUI browser) -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
