Dru Lavigne's popular and frequently-recommended column has been updated, 
improved, and compiled into a new book, The Best of FreeBSD Basics.

It is available at Amazon, a few other book stores, and more book stores 
coming soon. The ISBN is 978-0-9790342-2-0. The book's website is at 
http://www.reedmedia.net/books/freebsd-basics/

Dru wrote over 110 articles (over 250 web pages) documenting her FreeBSD 
experiences starting in early 2000. "Being the meticulous sort, I had a 
journal of all of the attempts, error messages, and successes I had 
encountered since stumbling upon freebsd.org through an Internet search." 
(From the book preface.) The column -- and now the book -- covers a huge 
range of FreeBSD, Unix, and open source topics.
