Design and Implementation is great, I've got that too, but only if 
you're interested in the system's internals - I didn't get that 
impression from the OP's message.

Also - I think it's *mostly* relevent not, "totally", relevent. Things 
have changed in FreeBSD since those days I think, but the foundations 
are still the same and it's all useful information reguardless.
