Hi!
What are you talking about? Do you really think not seeing a book
with 'FreeBSD How To Do" on the cover there are no good documentation
available? What about the complete 4.4-BSD documentation set (5 books
with approx 3900 pages!, Prog. Ref. Man., User's Ref. Man., User's
Supplementary Doc., Prog. Suppl. Doc., and System Managers Man.).
The only UN*X which NEEDS special documentation is LINUX!
Cheers
Lars
