: this came up before Christmas and it appears a few FreeBSD core team members
: are very serious about penning an Internals Book and maybe some others
: like a Systems Admin and/or how to book.

: --mark.

Maybe I am asking too much : but I really want to see a book entitled
such as "FreeBSD System Admin Guide" or "FreeBSD Kernel (Hacking) Guide",
whether it's free or for sale. Even if O'Reilley change only the covers of 
their BSD 4.4 manuals and put new printed covers "FreeBSD 2.X manuals" ,
I would love to buy the whole set.

I just want a set of manuals belonging to our own.
