I think the Handbook, which is available from the home page, is a pretty sufficient resource to help get things moving. Part of the problem here is that Unix is an intricate system... it's not quite plug-n-play like DOS and Windows are because there are so many subsystems and features to work with. In order to really get things going with actual networking, you'd probably be best off buying the fairly recent FreeBSD book from Walnut Creek CDROM or a good Unix system administration manual. -- Carl (ravenpub@southwind.net) Squirt guns don't squirt people, kids do.
