It has *something* from the man = pages, Again, _Something_ from man.. but not that much which = make anyone say it is a 'hard copy of man'. I teach FreeBSD myself at my company, and I advice my students to buy 'The Complete FreeBSD, 3rd Edition'! Yes, at FreeBSD-Mall and Amazone.com, they are the same thing. Cheers, Fawaz = "Boon Hoo" wrote: Hi, I'm interested in purchasing the "Complete FreeBSD" book. = For people who are using it, do you find it helpful, or is it just another "hardcopy" version of man pages + FreeBSD handbook? = I have seen a copy in amazon and in freebsd-mall. Are they both the same, as in the latest edition/revision? (seems to me to be = 3rd edition, June 99 currently) But then again, if there's a new = edition coming out soon(for freebsd 4.0?) i may wait for a while.
