I don't agree with this at all. I think that it's a very useful introduction to BSD UNIX. I wish I'd had something like this to explain how process management and filesystems (in particular) work in general terms when I was starting out. However, I do agree that it might be better handled as an article, recommended from within the Handbook. My only concern is that it should be recommended for new-comers as well. It shouldn't in any way be ear-marked as something for developers. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
