Yes, of course. I found Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" to be of great value during my first steps into FreeBSD. Of course, there are a zillion books out there on learning Unix, and most of the Unix stuff you'll get to know apply to FreeBSD too. Then, there is the FreeBSD handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ and the FreeBSD FAQ. The manpages of FreeBSD are also a good resource when looking for something you don't know about. Search them with: % man -k WORD when you want to see which manpages contain WORD, or read the manpage for a specific command, with % man COMMAND Last, but not least, the archives of the mailing lists in freebsd.org are one of the best places to look for answers to your questions, since we all ask the same questions while we're learning our way around BSD. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~keramida/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
