    I personaly liked FreeBSD Unleashed even though I'm not a big SAMS
    advocate. Most of my books are from O'Reilly but they did a realy good
    job on this book. two thumbs up. Anyone else have any recomendations,
    besides the obvoius handbook and other websites posted on the freebsd
    site?
