If you have a user's group near you, that's the ticket. I found that some Linux groups have FBSD users too. I have been fantasizing about a book that's and intro. to unix AND a freeBSD guide at the same time. Most intro level unix docs. bone you up on telneting into a server and then explaining the file system first, then commands, ect. it would be cool for a intro unix book to use the FBSD platform as the learning vehicle. also would be a great sysadmin learning tool, - just get some old clones and set up a network, servers, subnets - hands-on at home - "we'll show you how". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Otteson" To: Sent: Friday, May 26, 2000 8:23 PM Subject: any good books?
