Composing myself, I wandered over to the Unix section, which somehow was only about one third Linux (Refreshing to say the least). So I'm looking and I wander accross the O'Reilly UNIX in a nutshell quick reference. Start flipping through the pages. It's a very good, useful book, but it's for SysV not BSD. ANybody know if it'd still be useful for the most part? Or maybe there's a BSD counterpart? Also, just to see what was going on with FreeBSD, I looked for Greg's book. None in. Asked counter guy, and was glad to hear they actually sell them, and had just run out. -- Laurence Berland, Stuyvesant HS Debate <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. http://stuy.debate.net icq #7434346 aol imer E1101 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
