FreeBSD is by far the most popular version of BSD®, the legendary operating
system that has contributed a great deal to every version of Unix® in use
today (including Mac OS® X). Originally a community effort by the University
of California at Berkeley, FreeBSD was aimed at making Unix a little friendlier
and easier to use. By the time other free operating systems came along, BSD was
firmly established and very reliable. And it continues to be today.
For seven years, the FreeBSD community has relied on Greg Lehey's classic, The
Complete FreeBSD, to guide them through its configuration and administration.
The new edition, covering version 5 of FreeBSD, is now available through O'Reilly
Community Press.
The Complete FreeBSD is an eminently practical guidebook that explains
not only how to get a computer up and running with the FreeBSD operating system,
but also how to turn it into a highly functional and secure server that can host
large numbers of users and disks, support remote access, and provide web service,
mail service, and other key parts of the Internet infrastructure. The book provides
in-depth information on installation and updates, back-ups, printers, RAID, various
Internet services, firewalls, the graphical X Window system, and much more. Author
Greg Lehey is a member of the FreeBSD core team and has been developing, documenting,
and advocating for FreeBSD for nearly ten years. Whether you're an experienced
Unix user or just interested in learning more about this free operating system
and how you can put it to work for you, this do-it-yourself BSD documentation
will provide the information you need.
The Complete FreeBSD is the second release in the O'Reilly Community Press
Series. Unlike classic O'Reilly animal books, which are created to fill an information
void, the Community Press titles provide convenient printed copies of documentation
that is already available online. O'Reilly's role in the series is limited to
providing manufacturing and distribution services rather than editorial development,
so that each Community Press title reflects the editorial voice and organization
of the community that has created it.

A must have for anyone new to BSD
Greg Lehey knows his stuff. Even better then that, he excels at teaching through this book. I started with FreeBSD 4.6 and a copy of this book and now have turned many onto FreeBSD. A few friends that I've introduced to FreeBSD and I refer to this one as "The Bible". If he were to ever provide formal classes in my area I would sign up for it without hesitation.

Wonderful book!
This is a great book. If you're wanting to learn FreeBSD, there's no better teacher than Greg Lehey.
