This is a good idea. Sometimes when you're after some specific bit of information, there's nothing quite like a grep through the entire handbook, and without having to be online to use the web search. Actually, something that would help FreeBSD's professional presence is a PDF version of the handbook. Has anyone made the latex version, used some nice fonts, cleaned it up here and there, and tried running a free PDF creator? (This is something I definitely could've used yesterday while preparing a portfolio of work I've done (I wanted to include the printing chapter from the handbook).) --Sean
