Japanese/Chinese sysinstall, Japanese Handbook, and Japanese online manual are the results of this discussion). This is the list of Japanese books and magazines about FreeBSD published in the fourth quarter of 1996. Sep. 1996, "All about FreeBSD" (about 40 pages) in "Software Design" Sep.? 1996, "FreeBSD Introduction Kit" (book) Oct. 1996, "Installing FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE" (24 pages includs 13 color pages) in "UNIX User" (it's mine) Dec. 1996 "FreeBSD Power Guide" (book) and, as far as I know, two magazines are going to publish special numbers features FreeBSD and three books are going to be published within a few months. I'm writing a book about FreeBSD and going to write an article on a magazine next month. And I got a good Chinese FreeBSD book "Introduction and Application of FreeBSD" written by Jian-Da Li (Thanks!) in Taiwan R.O.C.. Perhaps, now what people need is good English book about FreeBSD :-). -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi E-mail: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp WWW homepage: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html Department of Computer Science, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan
