On 2001-07-03, Michael Lucas scribbled: # I'm looking for a couple brave souls who would be willing to be # technical reviewers. I probably have some time on my hands to help out in anyway that I can. I'm no BSD genius... but I'm not a newbie either :) # I have plenty of people who are tracking down "this sentence no verb" # and "what dictionary did you find *this* word in?" errors. What I # need are a couple of experienced sysadmin/developer types who can # comment on the technical accuracy, before I send it to the publisher. # # The target audience is people who have basic UNIX familiarity. I # don't cover cd, ls, chmod, and friends. I do cover FreeBSD-specific # issues, and go into depth on securing your system, providing network # services, tweaking the kernel, and so on. # # The section I have ready for review is about 80,000 words. This is # only a second draft -- there's rough bits here and there, I'm sure. # But there's no point in polishing incorrect text. # # There's another 60,000-70,000 words coming, once I translate my # brained-by-falling-masonry chicken-scratch into English. I'd ask you # to review that as well, hopefully by the end of August. # # I'll be happy to credit the reviewers in the book, of course, and send # you a copy. Since freelance writers make only slightly more than # migrant farm workers, that's about it. :( # # So, if you're a sysadmin who likes to be pendantic, do please drop me # a line! If it covers BIND, Postfix, Python, and Webmin... I think I can be of help. :) So that's what you needed a reference for the netstat(1) bit for, eh? -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
