  1. My recommendations. by callipygian-showsyst · · Score: 1 · on Getting Started In Linux
    Here's one that's available for free on the web.

    /. wrote about a book made just for new users here

    Some books, like this one come with a distribution CD-ROM.

    Good luck learning Linux!

  2. Some more suggestions.... by psycho_tinman · · Score: 1 · on General IT Books?

    The OReilly CD bookshelves are really really good value for money, and the space saving on a bookshelf is nothing short of phenomenal (in addition to searchable pages and indexing)

    Not all of them are of the same quality, though.. as mentioned earlier, the Perl CD bookshelf is excellent, I'd also highly recommend the Oracle PL/SQL bookshelf (for anyone interested in doing database programming in particular)..

    In addition to Code Complete, Rapid Development is also a great book for anyone in the IT industry (this is also written by Steve McConnell).. another couple of great programming books are written by Steve somebody (McGuire ? yup, google tells me that's right.. link here )

    Another book highly recommended to me is The Pragmatic programmer, although I haven't gotten hold of a copy yet :).. You've also missed out some literature on Extreme Programming which might come in handy...and here's the link for the FreeBSD book, mentioned earlier...

  3. Re:Not bad considering the low word count ... by dennisp · · Score: 1 · on OpenBSD review at linux.com

    Uh.

    FreeBSD Handbook
    Mailing list, Handbook and FAQ searches(Years and years worth of mailing list archives)
    "FreeBSD for the lazy and Hopeless"
    A comprehensive guide to FreeBSD(sort of dated but still applicable)
    FreeBSD Tutorials

    If you already have hte system installed -- there is probably a bunch of information in /usr/share/doc as well. Now, there isn't as much info on how to get going as linux -- but there is a lot of info for FreeBSD out there (I can't say the same thing for other *BSD's unfortunately). On a side note, 2.2.7 is as BSDish as you can get.
