books about: freebsd     books:       The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System10 reviews Marshall Kirk McKusick, George V. Neville-Neil Addison-Wesley Professional, 2004 Very nice and complete introduction book Before I encountered this book it was quite a bit of frustration in attempt to learn BSD and UNIX to the point I can really use it. For some reason there so many good books in a subject with one of two inclinations: or the book is too theoretical and very little of the real workflow provided or it is too down to earth and it is difficult to understand what is behind the sophisticated command line ...             Absolute FreeBSD: The Complete Guide to FreeBSD, 2nd Edition11 reviews Michael W. Lucas No Starch Press, 2007 Great FREEBSD Reference 'Absolute FreeBSD: The Complete Guide to FreeBSD' is another hit in the No Starch collection of books which have their own unique layout and style of writing associated with the authors publishing with them. With around 700 pages of content you will learn the ins and outs of this Unix-like operating system and see how powerful it is and what it can do for you. If you use FREEBSD on the job or ...             Building a Server with FreeBSD 712 reviews Bryan Hong No Starch Press, 2008 Great start for those who want to see some action. I love to learn as much about a particular technology as I can. If this describes you, this might not be the book for you. This book will not go into all the details of Apache or MySQL. There are plenty of books out there on individual topics. The reason I love this book is not because of all the detail it has, but because it gives you a good overview of how things should be setup and allow ...             Designing BSD Rootkits: An Introduction to Kernel Hacking4 reviews Joseph Kong No Starch Press, 2007 Concise, informative, powerful -- a real winner I loved Designing BSD Rootkits (DBR) by Joseph Kong, and I'm not even a kernel hacker. Rather, I'm an incident responder and FreeBSD administrator. This book is directly on target and does not waste the reader's time. If you understand C and want to learn how to manipulate the FreeBSD kernel, Designing BSD Rootkits is for you. Peer into the depths of a powerful operating system and bend it to ...             The Book of PF: A No-Nonsense Guide to the OpenBSD Firewall5 reviews Peter Hansteen No Starch Press, 2008 Great book of PF without endless details Biased review ahead This review is going to be biased. First of all I love OpenBSD, I love PF and I have meet Peter who is a nice guy to talk to. But we are getting ahead here. This book is obviously about PF, what is that? PF is the Packet Filter developed for OpenBSD and then ported to several other BSD systems. PF is a modern firewall system which performs great, like many others, but ...             Mac OS X Tiger for Unix Geeks12 reviews Brian Jepson, Ernest Rothman O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 very nice OS X UNIX book OS X UNIX is amazingly friendly and accessible. Some people who had never used it before type commands and work with the operating system directly as a "cool guys" in movies! This book is very helpful and well written and it is serves as a very nice reference. I paired this book with that "UNIX Essentials" DVD I found here on Amazon and it is complete UNIX course recorded and this book and a ...             The Best of FreeBSD Basics2 reviews Dru Lavigne Reed Media Services, 2007 The Best of FreeBSD Basics I own a copy of every FreeBSD book ever written. I can honestly say that Dru Lavigne's new book is simply the best FreeBSD how-to book out there. This book is well written with specific instruction on how to make things work. Make no mistake about it.....Whether you are a novice or a system administrator, you need this book in your library. Unlike other FreeBSD books out there which ...             UNIX: The Complete Reference, Second Edition (Complete Reference Series)1 review Kenneth H. Rosen, Douglas A. Host, ... McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2006 reliable reference I sure hope you don't intend to read this cover to cover. It functions best as a reliable and comprehensive reference to unix. For both system administrators and programmers. Yes, if you are the latter, you still have to deal with the operating system, even if you hide inside a programming language most of the time. The various unix shells are evenhandedly described. The Bourne shell. The c ...             BSD Hacks10 reviews Dru Lavigne O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004 Mac-Centric Review for Darwin/OS X Hackers Originally reviewied for the Lower East Side Mac Unix Users Group: http://lesmuug.org/reviews.html OVERVIEW -- There is a type of information that I consider to be a gem, a kind of information that doesn't really fit anywhere formally. It's too small, or perhaps too esoteric, to fit in most places. This makes it hard to find- though these info-gems can often can be the source of wild ...             BSD UNIX Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD2 reviews Christopher Negus, Francois Caen Wiley, 2008 A comprehensive listing of useful commands This book makes a nice addition to my FreeBSD collection. It contains a comprehensive listing of useful commands collected in a single source. The book is fairly compact so it doesn't take up much room on your desk. The softcover makes it easy to quickly flip through the sections. For the price, this book was well worth it!             The Complete FreeBSD: Documentation from the Source56 reviews Greg Lehey O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2003 Excellent book on FreeBSD, maybe the only one you'll need This is a very good book on FreeBSD. It touches on just about every aspect of installing, configuring, and running FreeBSD. It leans more towards desktop use then server use, but there is lots of good information on configuring network services. There is also a huge section just on networking itself. Just by reading this book you can tell the author Greg Lehey is a smart, seasoned, no-nonsense ...             Absolute BSD: The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD24 reviews Michael Lucas, Jordan Hubbard No Starch Press, 2002 Recomended Buying a good book specific to FreeBSD is not a simple task. There are dozens of books about FreeBSD but all of them are just some sort of copy of the HandBook. This is really the first book that is different to almost all others publishied books -at least till today-. I will recommend it to any one who is interested in having a deeper understandig (from a point of view of a SysAdmin, of ...             FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer, Second Edition (with CD-ROM)21 reviews Annelise Anderson The Bit Tree Press, 2001 Get this book! This book is a must if you are learning BSD Unix. All the commands you'll ever use are covered in this book. This book is easy to read and explains important topics without being exhaustive (a skill some authors never learn). A great book for newbies to BSD Unix!             OS X for Hackers at Heart: The Apple of Every Hacker's Eye Bruce Potter, Johnny Long, ... Syngress, 2005 Rediscover Apple and OS X, the Preferred Platform for Discerning Hackers With sexy hardware, a powerful operating system, and easy-to-use applications, Apple has made OS X the operating system of choice for hackers everywhere. But as great as OS X is out of the box, hackers are eager to push the limits of what it was designed to do (surprise). Tweak and tune both software and hardware to start penetration testing or software development. ...             Network Administration with FreeBSD Babak Farrokhi Packt Publishing, 2008 This book is a guide to FreeBSD for network administrators; therefore it does not cover basic installation and configuration of FreeBSD, but is about using FreeBSD to build, secure, and maintain networks. After introducing the basic tools for monitoring the performance and security of the system the book moves on to cover using jails-FreeBSD virtual environments-to secure your network. Then it shows how to overcome the different bottlenecks ...             FreeBSD Handbook (2nd Edition)4 reviews Dancing Goat Press, 2001 A Book to Hold in Your Hand With this second edition, the FreeBSD Handbook comes of age. It even has an index now! Nik Clayton and Murray Stokley (and many contributors) have rewritten a good deal and clarified more, and added real screen shots. Yes, it's available on your hard drive. But for me a book is a better random access device than computer file (or a bunch of html files)--I have a better chance of finding what I ...             FreeBSD Unleashed (With CD-ROM)27 reviews Michael Urban, Brian Tiemann, 2001 I'm reading this cover-to-cover! This is an excellent book! It explains many things I've noticed but didn't comprehend well in FreeBSD and Linux. The authors are very gifted at communicating, a rare gift concerning tech book and online doc authors (generally, such works so dull, they may merely serve (too often) as ambiguous reference material). The authors also give some interesting history about FreeBSD and its competitors; ...             Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security6 reviews Yanek Korff, Paco Hope, ... O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004 Good read and a solid approach to security If you are looking at implementing one of the BSD distributions of Linux and want to secure your installation this book is an excellent choice. The authors cover the basic security that applies to all Linux distributions such as filesystem security and creating a sandbox, and then follows up with security options specific to BSD. The chapters cover installation, secure administration, creating ...             Sams Teach Yourself FreeBSD in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself in 24 Hours)6 reviews Michael Urban Sams, 2002 Great for UNIX beginners. I do not know if all of the negative reviews are justified or well reasoned. I am somewhat familiar to Unix type OSes and was looking for something fundamental but not overly simple. This book starts with basic elements (basic commands, concept of user accounts) and lays a good foundation for further study. I very much appreciated the fact that it does not assume to much from its readers ...             Slackware Linux Essentails 2nd Edition5 reviews David Cantrell, Chris Lomens FreeBSD Mall, 2005 Exactly that the Essentials Needed! I know absolutly nothing about linux. Using this book I was able to install and configure linux slackware. It was very easy reading and quick to the point.
