I keep meaning to try PC-BSD, but I don't like KDE, and there is no xfce install, I know it can be installed post initial installation but I figured it would be crazy bloated with KDE and xfce. Plus it's going on a netbook with a 8gb hdd.

Yeah you need to post I think at least 10 times, my avatar just kicked in so I'm pretty sure it was ten.

That's great! I've never seen these comics before, I have read a bunch, pretty funny. Thanks for the link. :e

I think I got it, sorry for the late response, the in laws are here... Seriously I think I understand it. I think the same commands different options, between fbsd and linux are really the biggest issue for me, but I certainly have been enjoying myself using this OS. Ive got FBSD running on...

Is there a FreeBSD Style way of getting the same information?

Is there a equivalent to "fdisk -l" in Linux? I'm trying to get a output similar to "fdisk -l" in Linux, I've looked all over and I'm stuck. I just want to be able to see what flash drives or external HDD's are connected to my PC, partition info, stuff like that. Thank you.

I ended up buying the Official BSD Handbook vol 1&2, Absolute FreeBSD 2nd ed, and BSD Unix Toolbox 1000+ Commands, for about $85, with free 2day shipping from Amazon. So I think I made out pretty good, lot of reading to do. :)

Yeah I was kind of surprised that there wasn't something newer. Perhaps its on the horizon.

I think Im just going to get them both, it appears I can get the FreeBSD Handbook 3rd ed User and Admin books and a Absolute FreeBSD 2nd ed for about $70, really not too bad seeing as how Absolutes retail price is $60 alone.

Hey thanks for your reply. So I think I might just get the official handbook, I see in the online handbook that not a ton of stuff has changed from the printed version. Thanks again.

Hey folks, I'm just getting into FreeBSD and I like it enough so far to purchase a book. I need a book in my hands to read it, I cant read it on a PC, I wander.... Anyway I've pretty much got it down to the official handbook, or no starch press Absolute FreeBSD. Could anyone recommend...
