Product Description

BSD is one of the foundations of modern UNIX and UNIX-like systems, and has earned a reputation for unparalleled performance and stability. It is also the source of much Internet technology. FreeBSD, an open source operating system, is far the most popular version of BSD.

The Complete FreeBSD is a classic text published for many years by FreeBSD distributor Walnut Creek. The book is an eminently practical guide that explains not only how to get a computer up and running with the FreeBSD operating system, but how to turn it into a highly functional and secure workstation or server that can host large numbers and users and disks, support remote access, and provide web service, and other key parts of the internet infrastructure.

This edition is based on the Version 5.0 of FreeBSD, which includes a number of new features, notably improved support for multiprocessor systems. New topics include wireless LAN support, DHCP, proxy servers, the KDE desktop, and how to write CD-ROMs.

The book is written for novices as well as moderately knowledgeable readers who have picked up some experience using UNIX. The book covers a wide range of topics central to the system administration of hubs. Among the many topics are installation and updates, backups, printers, RAID, several Internet services, firewalls, and the graphical X Windows Systems. Many readers over the years have praised this book for anticipation their problems and providing signposts pointing toward the solutions.

The Author Greg Lehey, has been developing, documenting and advocating FreeBSD for 10 years. He is a member of the FreeBSD core team and is known for creation Vinum, a software RAID implementation for FreeBSD.
