The Best of FreeBSD Basics is out now on Amazon and perhaps elsewhere, containing much (all?) of Dru Lavigne’s column of the same name from OnLAMP.com. It says ‘FreeBSD’ in the title, but I’d expect everything that isn’t ports-specific will apply to every BSD. Her columns are clear and to the point.

Other factoids:

• A portion of the book’s proceeds are going to the BSD Certification Group.
• Dru Lavigne is also the author of O’Reilly’s BSD Hacks.
• The publisher of this book, Reed Media Services, is Jeremy C. Reed, a contributor to pkgsrc and DragonFly.
