I have to document the 5 existing FreeBSD Machines that I set up for the College. I am required to produce enough documentation so that the Student interns that work in the computer science area can administrate the system after I leave. These Student Interns are trained only in Novell. Therefore I need to produce a document that will show them the basics of FreeBSD Unix. Basically this will be a newbie book. Christopher J.
