Yes, but now he'll probably need 5' for reading the table of contents

But I'm sure it's a good book and I think I'll finally order me a copy,
as a christmas present :-)

There are some links on the www.freebsd.org homepage.
I think the freebsd-diaries are also pretty good.
At least, they have helped me once when I had locked myself out of the
