   | I was wondering:  How does FreeBSD compare to other Unix's?     

I don't know if you're up to UNIX internals as well, but if you are, I
recommend this book:

	UNIX Internals -- The New Frontiers
	by Uresh Vahalia
	(published by Prentice Hall 1996; ISBN 0-13-101908-2)

It compares and analyzes the latest features offered by the most important
UNIX systems and variants, including SVR4.x, Solaris, SunOS, Digital UNIX,
4.4BSD (and thus FreeBSD), Mach and OSF/1.
