Books require a major commitment from the authors. On the other hand, writing a 2-10 page article is much easier. Perhaps we should start with a list of articles that could be written. I would offer to co-write an article (i.e. do most of the drudge work of actual writing), if someone is willing to write about something but doens't actually feel like writing it. [Maybe I can get more involved after I actually have access to a FreeBSD machine again] Additional Suggestions: The new VM system The ports/packages system FreeBSD as a product development platform > Chris Coleman (chris@aries.bb.cc.wa.us) Viren -- Viren Shah+viren@cc.gatech.edu+http://www.cc.gatech.edu/grads/s/Viren.Shah/ ====== FreeBSD: It's free, it's fast, it's fun. ====== "3 syncs represent the trinity - init, the child and the eternal zombie process." -- Jordan Hubbard
