Linux, on the other hand, does exist in Michael's universe, because books have been published and sold for money about it. Well, Michael, I've got news for you: FreeBSD (and NetBSD, and BSD/OS, and 386BSD, and even 4.4BSD itself) _do_ indeed exist! Not only is the "Unix System Administration Handbook" by Nemeth, Snyder and Seebass now available in a new, updated-for-4.4BSD edition, and the 4.4BSD edition of "the daemon book" just around the corner, but there are, of course, lots of other books available about Berkeley Unix. That's one of the great selling points of the Berkeley style Unix implementations, I think: They're BSD. All of them. Me? I run 2.11BSD on PDP-11s and NetBSD 1.1 on i386es and VAXen. -tih -- Tom Ivar Helbekkmo tih@Hamartun.Priv.NO
