I do have to say that I found your book informative, and it gave me enough FBSD specific information that I had a usable system up and running in a couple of hours. Granted with the Linux experence some things may have made sence to me that would have confused a total newbie to UNIX, but I didn't notice anything. While I will most likely not buy any revisions of the book, get most of my info from other sources now. I will without hesitation give you a good deal of credit for me getting FBSD up and running, and usable for the first time. It is the first book I would recommend to anyone wanting to try FBSD for the first time, total newbie, or current Linux user. I think it's a good book.
