FreeBSD, the powerful, flexible, and free Unix-based operating system, is the preferred server for many enterprises. But it can be even trickier to use than either Unix or Linux, and harder to use well. Absolute BSD is your complete guide to BSD, written by a FreeBSD committer and with the support of the BSD community. It covers installation, networking, security, network services, system performance, kernel tweaking, file systems, SMP, upgrading, crash debugging, and much more.
