Customer Review: A good quick reference, and ties in well with the topics presented in Absolute FreeBSD (2nd ed) by M Lucas. But Lucas has a much better writing style, and gets across his technical info in a better way, by explaining why things work the way they do. Building a Server with FreeBSD 7 is kind of... more info
Customer Review: In mid-2004 I reviewed Dru Lavigne's book BSD Hacks, which I really enjoyed. 3 1/2 years later I am pleased to say that Dru's latest book, The Best of FreeBSD Basics (TBOFB), is another excellent resource for FreeBSD users. I really wish this book had been available in 2000 when I started using... more info
Customer Review: I've recently stepped into the wading pool of FreeBSD after about 15 years of using Linux. My previous UNIX experience has dealt with a number of BSD variants, but only recently have I installed FreeBSD on a personal system. The book offers decent coverage of most topics. The criticisms I have of... more info
Customer Review: Collections strong in web design and programmer's guides know that rootkits have a negative image - but DESIGNING BSD ROOTKITS provides all the information on how to overcome any bad image and problems to develop effective rootkits under the FreeBSD operating system. This instructional is actually a... more info
Customer Review: This really filled the void between the amazing hands-on "Lions Book" and Maurice Bach's "The Design of the UNIX Operating System", introducing the reader to some more modern implementation of the UNIX operating system.
There is some bad in the good though, the text varies in quality, not... more info
Customer Review: A very good book for those who want to learn advanced concepts in OS. Since it is a open source the book is very useful in understanding how they look like. The paper quality is too good, which makes u read non stop. i luv reading this book. Price worth it. A good buy.
Customer Review: I was expecting documentation from the source code (ie. a description of how FreeBSD internals work). This book is just another "How to use FreeBSD" book like any other. As a result I found the title very misleading and the book did not do what I expected.
Customer Review: Although the name is scary, the ideas inside are simple to understand and implement, yet very powerful. I especially like their way configuring terminals and backup solutions.
Customer Review: I have to hand it to Mr. Comer and Stevens, they have done an excellent job writing a book that explains everything clearly with very well defined (and actually working) examples.
If you are interested in learning TCP/IP programming on Unix platform this is the only book you need.
