I believe that's correct. The only FreeBSD-specific book (that's decently current) in existence is "Installing and Running FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey. This is usually because 1) FreeBSD follows 4.4BSD pretty closely and 2) the Handbook, FAQ, and this list usually cover the area in between. > One other book that has been frequently recommended to me is "UNIX System > Administration Handbook" by Evi Nemeth, et.al. 2nd edition. (NOT 1st). Quite so. Very good book. 'TCP/IP Network Administration' is also good for budding net admins. There is a booklist on www.freebsd.org under Documents with isbn's.
