FreeBSD weakness.

I finally decided that I needed to get more information on FreeBSD. I 
got it up and running, then I did something else and I start getting 
errors again....

So I just ordered 3 books on FreeBSD from Amazon. In most of the reviews 
posted there about the books, people were complaining about weak 
documentation, too much information about things that they were not 
interested in, and errors in the in the books which seems to be the most 
common complaint. In my very short recent history with FreeBSD, I've 
formed the opinion that documenting FreeBSD is it's greatest weakness. 
FreeBSD needs someone who can actually type to write a good book for 
beginners who have never seen UNIX code. A book is needed with examples 
that actually WORK! Examples that are explained in plain English. There 
seems to be very few books on FreeBSD around.

I have decided that it is a very good operating system which I need to 
learn more about. And yes, I have all of the links that everyone sent 
me. Thanks for all of the info.
