FreeBSD is free! It can be obtained at ftp.freebsd.org or at any 
of it's mirror sites. Depending on your connection, etc. FreeBSD 
can be installed in a matter of less than an hour. As for the UNIX 
book by Sybex, I wouldn't really know. However, there is an 
excellent manual for FreeBSD called "The FreeBSD Handbook" 
(available both online and in hardcover) located at 
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook. If you are interested in 
purchasing the hardcover, I beleive that www.freebsdmall.com has 
it in stock, although i'm not sure as i've only used the online 
version ;). But, in all seriousness, it's a great book to have 
handy, I will go as far as to say that it's my UNIX bible. Well, 
HTH. -- Jonathan
