I'm interested in hand holding type of book for a novice to FreeBSD and unix-like OS, but someone who is knowledgeable in other network OSes. The Complete FreeBSD book sounds reasonable what little information I can find on it. However, it was released almost a year ago. Since then there have been several updates to the 2.1.x versions and 2.2.1 has been released. I would like to know if those of you familiar with both the book and FreeBSD think it is the book to buy for understanding and administering 2.1.x and 2.2.x Is it still satisfactory for 2.1.x. What about 2.2.x, is it so different as to be beyond the scope of the book? I know some of you may have an association with Walnut Creek CD-ROM and your comments are welcome, just let me know so I can weigh that factor into your comments. <g> Thanks. Ken
