Hi Unga,

Third iirc. ISBN 0201549794 was the first, although with a slightly 
different name.

You could probably ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] about that.  :)

FWIW there has been rumours about the next edition of this book covering
a recenter version.  That's all I know :).

Re: The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System

Hello Marc,

Does "yes it is" mean the book is

 - still relevant; or

  - a second edition is coming soon.

As a newbie I'm also  interested in this book.  Assuming the second 
edition covers FreeBSD 7 or 8, I would rather wait for it rather than 
purchase the first edition.

Thanks,

Mark

According to George V. Neville-Neil yes it is, I asked him that exact

It isn't completely up-to date, as it covers FreeBSD 5, but 5 marked the
introduction of the smp-ng code, so it is not hugely incorrect. I
recently acquired it and am finding it very useful and informative.
