Hello All -

I am new to the *BSD arena, although I have worked with UN*X before.  I
will be needing a refresher in using/administering my new system.  For
comparitive purposes, how different, if at all, is *BSD from AT&T or SCO
System V?  All the books I find in the library are aimed at System V users,
can I use these as a reference?
