Only caveat is perhaps that it was written in 2002. I am surprised that the first book suggested *wasn't* this one: The Design & Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System (McKusick & Neville-Neil). This bad boy is written for FreeBSD 5.2, which means (rather miraculously) that it's actually up to date, full of real life descriptions, and about as useful a book on Unix as you could possibly purchase. It rather depends on what sort of book you're going after, because this IS a rather academically oriented book ... it's not for beginners, it assumes you are a journeyman programmer. I loved it, best, highest recommendation. > > -volker > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
