FreeBSD Handbook, 2nd Edition Available

Murray Stokely writes: " The second edition hardcopy release of the FreeBSD Handbook is now available! Written by the FreeBSD Documentation Project, the FreeBSD Handbook is a comprehensive guide to installing and running FreeBSD. This book was typeset using entirely open source software. It covers the installation and day-to-day use of FreeBSD, the ports collection, kernel configuration, the X Window System, printing, FreeBSD's Linux binary compatibility support, upgrading your system from source by using the ``make world'' command, and much more. Among the many changes since the 1st edition are the inclusion of a full index, all new graphical network diagrams, several new chapters, more professional typesetting, and content that has been completely updated for FreeBSD 4.x and 5.0-CURRENT. If you are interested in purchasing a copy of the handbook, you can do so online from the FreeBSD Mall."

Good to see some BSD news!

But I can't help wondering how long it will be before the morons arrive with their stupid and predictable '*BSD is dying' troll.

I wouldn't mind the trolls so much if they were original, but cutting and pasting the same stupid rant every time an article mentions BSD is just plain unfunny.

Anyway, its good to hear some positive news from the BSD camp. Lets hope they clear up the problems with their license so BSD can match RMS's definition of 'open source'
