You have come to the right universe... I own every book in print on the openBSD OS. There are none that are up to date with regards to the OS - installation, changes with regardds to stuff like CARP, GPS. (Except one that is only available as a pdf) The openBSD books in print are as follows: Absolute OpenBSD: Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF [2nd edition] OpenBSD 4.0: A Crash Course (PDF) Secure Architectures with OpenBSD The Book you want, which is only available in pdf is OpenBSD 4.0 a crash course. The next book down is the Secure architectures, followed by Building Firewalls with openBSD 2nd edition, then absolute. However as you doing this mac style I would recommend this book: Mac OS X Tiger for Unix Geeks, Third Edition This is THE book for apple command line! There is also this book: Learning Unix for Mac OS X Tiger - Not quite as good. I own both and can recommend either or. Microsoft also uses openBSD for its Unix Services for the MS platform so any books you can find on that would be helpful. WIll you be tackling applescript at all ? Richard will you be tackling system admin or tech co-ordinator ? I have done the ACHDS and am unsure whether I should go admin or Co-ordinator path. Hopefully at some point the powers that be will finish the BSD certification courses and certification itself. So I can take that. Until then the only BSD certs I can take are the apple ones. Its a shame I am not in Dubai, as I own pretty much all of the books that you need and would have no problems with lending them to you. daN -- _____________________________________________________________ " They that can give up liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
