Any chance that you could post the ISBN number for the 3rd edition? I use a UK supplier and just to make sure that he gets everything correct, I'd like to quote the ISBN as well as the title, when I place my order.

I just got it and can't recomend it enough for any newbies, or people who are getting used to FreeBSD. It looks like a good reference as well, but I'm still using it as a tutorial so I can't really comment on that. There are areas where more detail might be a good thing. But most of those areas seem to be covered well enough for a beginner, and if you really need more information, there are separate books on SendMail, or whatever else you need more help with. Between the book and the excellent 3.2 installation program, 3.2 was up and running in less than an hour. Pretty good for my first 3.2 install. It took me a lot longer to install Win95 and NT later that day.... and they are supposed to be easier (but we won't go there). I bought my copy from the FreeBSD Mall, which is the same as Walnut Creek. They had the book and disks to me 2 days later. I later checked the price at different bookseller home pages (if you need to do that, look at http://www.acses.com/i2b.htm - they compare prices for you at 25 on line bookstores), and found that no one else stocked it... and the shipping times were 14 to 41 days, with no real money savings.
