   I'll typeset the monster into postscript if anyone is interested.  I
   love good books, and have always wanted to design a book.  I even re-
   typeset the monthly FAQ before hadning it out to newbies interested in
   FreeBSD!  Weird, huh?  ;^)

Gary Clark II has done a commercial system admin guide for FreeBSD.
You can email him at gclarkii@freebsd.org.  I think it's pretty cheap.
