Thumbs up

This is a great book which basically list commands avialiable for freebsd to do the stuff you need to do.
Example
Quote:
FreeBSD
# sysctl hw.model # CPU model
# sysctl hw # Gives a lot of hardware information
# sysctl vm # Memory usage
# dmesg | grep "real mem" # Hardware memory
# sysctl -a | grep mem # Kernel memory settings and info
# sysctl dev # Configured devices
# pciconf -l -cv # Show PCI devices
# usbdevs -v # Show USB devices
# atacontrol list # Show ATA devices
As you can see with the above commands you can get information of your system hardware.
For a beginner like me this is great. Did have "Essential system administration" pocket reference but the way it was written and laid out was no good.

Highly Recommended.
