Recomended
Buying a good book specific to FreeBSD is not a simple task.
<br />There are dozens of books about FreeBSD but all of them are just some sort of copy of the HandBook.
<br />
<br />This is really the first book that is different to almost all others publishied books -at least till today-.
<br />
<br />I will recommend it to any one who is interested in having a deeper understandig (from a point of view of a SysAdmin, of course) of the system.
<br />
<br />In fact, FreeBSD UNLEASHED, the Handbook, and Absolute BSD are 3 books that any FreeBSD SysAdmin should have.
<br />
<br />By the way, its time for an updated version of this book, the Version 5 FreeBSD is out :)

Very Very Very Good
A lot of effort went into compiling this book, and it shows. Virtually all aspects of FreeBSD administration are touched on. It is well written and concise (no fluff). Finally, a single source. No more scouring the web and newsgroups for answers on the basics. Well done.

ABSOLUTEly amazing.
My work requires me to read alot of technical books. I am so full of praise of this book that I am actually at a loss of words right at this moment.<br>Never have I seen a book that can actually keep my attention throughout every single chapter.<br>I guess it is the way it is written. Very light-hearted, practical, and concise. I wish every technical book is written like this. If you are looking for a FreeBSD book, look no further.<br>Great job, Michael :)
