    Hi:

     I recently got "FreeBSD: An Open-Source operating system for your personal
    computer", by Annelise Anderson. I must say this is a really excellent
    introduction to FreeBSD. Although the book covers FreeBSD 4.3, much of the
    material is still relevant to 4.8. A 4.8 CD was included with the book. She
    has an entire chapter on ports plus a very nice chapter on kernel
    configuration and compiling. She covers the commands: kldstat, kldload,
    dmesg, ldconfig, last, netstat, w, who, ps and top. She covers cvsup too. I
    learned a lot about my new FreeBSD by reading this book.

                                                                    Kind regards,
                                                                    Jonathan
