It's almost so easy to mentally misplace the realization of how much can go into these books. I'm greatful for them though, without the Complete FreeBSD book and the online resources, (and my holy grail: DNS & BIND 3rd ed. O'Reilly :P) - I would have been so lost. It would be nice to see more FreeBSD specific books. Hell, I would like to see a firewall book based off FreeBSD's ipfw. AFAIK the O'Reilly books is based off ipfilter, but don't quote me on that. One could always translate between ipfilter and ipfw, but that is NOT something to be doing when you're trying to learn something. : Terry Lambert : terry@lambert.org * Matt Heckaman - mailto:matt@lucida.qc.ca http://www.lucida.qc.ca/ * * GPG fingerprint - A9BC F3A8 278E 22F2 9BDA BFCF 74C3 2D31 C035 5390 * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.qc.ca/pgp iD8DBQE53QARdMMtMcA1U5ARAqtvAKC6OxljQ8mnPf/vDpVF8jdrIERQcwCfXotA /tKSD3EGTw9JhQupF46aN3s= =dXqF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
