A lot of people think it's nice to have all the man pages printed
nicely and bound together. I'd be one of them if I had money up the
wazoo, which I don't.
However, I do recommend at least one of the books from the series:
4.4BSD System Manager's Manual
By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley
1st Edition June 1994
ISBN: 1-56592-080-5
804 pages, $30.00 (US)
and if you're feeling particularly rich, then get these other two:
4.4BSD User's Supplementary Documents
By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley
1st Edition July 1994
ISBN: 1-56592-076-7
712 pages, $30.00 (US)
and
4.4BSD Programmer's Supplementary Documents
By Computer Systems Research Group, UC Berkeley
1st Edition July 1994
ISBN: 1-56592-079-1
596 pages, $30.00 (US)
You'll find a lot more papers/articles than man pages in these.
