Greetings !!

I have found a very useful book in "The Complete Reference : FreeBSD" by
Roderick W. Smith (ISBN 0-07-222409-6).

I am tempted to get one of the others listed by you fine people, such as the
Annelise Anderson book; however, as a work colleague once told me, the best
way to learn is to just get stuck into it, make mistakes and then find the
solutions.
