You can read the Handbook online, it's at www.freebsd.org. But, if you buy a copy you will be supporting the 'cause', and by buying both you are doing that much more to support FBSD. Besides, they're both good books with slightly differant ways of getting to the same results. BTW, there is another FBSD book to look for - by Ted Mittelstaedt - FreeBSD, The Corporate Networkers Guide (which is just as good for home network users as for corporate network admins). -- Regards, Chip Wiegand CRW Computer Services www.wiegand.org chip@wiegand.org <------------------> Web page design Consulting PC Repair <------------------> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
