This is a book for users new to FreeBSD and UNIX (doesn't assume you know UNIX commands). I wanted to assure those of you who have the First Edition that there's not much new in the Second; it has a 4.4 CD-ROM and some info on 4.4 installation that differs somewhat (not too much) from 4.3. It also has a graphic on the cover, although the basic background is still blue. (I also corrected a few errors.) Right now BSDmall.com has copies; amazon.com has listed the book but doesn't have any yet. And amazon.com is probably running out of the first edition.
