Summary: Great overview of FreeBSD for beginners | ready reference fo
Comment: This is a great overview of FreeBSD for beginners and a great ready reference for experienced users. The clarity of the writing is wonderful, and makes the rather arcane subject of FreeBSD more accessible to general audiences. Works like this are very important to ensure that open source operating systems continue to spread among an audience which extends beyond the traditional open source community. It strikes a great balance between including all the necessary information and having too-much-information, which often turns users off. Great job!

Summary: Starter FreeBSD Book
Comment: This book can only be of use to those new to FreeBSD. I found that a lot of topics were too general and did not provide any in-depth information for more experienced users.
If you're just starting out with FreeBSD then this is great book for you. If you are looking to further your knowledge then look for a book aimed at a higher experience level.

Summary: Was useful for me, a FreeBSD beginner
Comment: I got this book so that I can read about FreeBSD without having an access to computer. I do think that FBSD has enough docs online to setup and run the system.
Overall, the book was effective as a reference on FBS installation and systems commands. As a long-time UNIX/Linux user, I did not need the background and mostly used the book as a reference and not reading it from start to finish. I did manage pretty much anything I looked for, with the notable exception of one kernel module programming issue.
I think the book is very well suited for a beginner FBSD sysadmin and for "Linux-switchers" as well.
