I am a complete newbie, with only the most superficial (ie Fedora) experience. I have 5.3 and am stuck. I'd like to find a book that helps me with just a few things, but: for someone not a systems administrator who wants to set up a workstation. As an example of the level needed, where I'm stuck is I don't know how to configure X from the incredibly primitive default setup. I wish to install and configure Fluxbox and Fluxspace, set up Emacs with all sorts of goodies (got sufficient docs on that excepting using ports), and vnc (or similar) from OSX. The online handbook wasn't helpful for my first problem. Complete FreeBSD, Absolute BSD, and Design and Implementation seem targeted toward admins and server setups. Am I wrong?
