Ditto! I too own a 4th edition print, It's in the server room along
with a copy of UNIX Power Tools, BSD Hacks, Absolute BSD, The camel
books, and a few others I can't remember.... I try to buy every major
BSD book, even if it's just to help support the community.

Thanks for all the hard work you've done to build and support the
community and thanks for open sourcing the book, karma bonus points
for you!
