Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am looking for a good Unix system administration book that also includes references to FreeBSD specific topics. Is there such a thing? I am comfortable with the basics most of the time, and can make my way around some of the more advanced areas (I can compile a customised kernel, change some sendmail rules, etc), so I don't want to get a beginner's guide, eventhough there's a lot of basic stuff I don't know (just stumbled on the 'which' command the other day!). I looked into a couple of books: - Essential System Administration 2nd Ed. (Aleen Frisch), published by O'Reilly - no mention of FreeBSD at all (Linux is acknowledged) - Unix System Administration Handbook 2nd Ed. (Nemeth, etc) - it is in back order at the local bookstore, but I have the first editon (1989) and FreeBSD wasn't around then (or was it?) Any pointers would be appreciated.
