Has anyone read this book? > I appreciate the feedback! Yes, I've read it. Most of it, anyway, I only bought it myself a few weeks back and haven't found time to read all of it yet (got to about chapter 12, so far). I think as soon as I finish, I'll start from the beginning again, I think it will take a while for it all to sink in.. I'm also glad to read in Greg's message that Kirk's writing a FreeBSD version. I don't know if it's worth waiting for that or not. (I wouldn't, you don't know how long that one will be.) -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
