He explains complex matters in such a way with a touch of humor that keep you interested and in the process makes you informed. Many users have reviewed the content, so I don't feel the need to dive into a full review of what is covered. However, the topics covered in this book are very relevant to the day to day tasks of a full time administrator. I administer a network with many users, and have administered smaller networks, and the topics apply equally. Very good read. Review: Still the Readable Reference that Potential BSDnistas Need to Own - I'm relatively new to *BSDs though I've used Linux since the early 1990s so I read the author reviews extensively before purchasing this book. Michael Lucas writes just like everyone says and make the topic easy to understand. I've purchased two other books written by the author on ZFS and Network Flow Analysis and he is consistent in style with each of these books. This is a large book and I'm only 25% through it though I must admit that I hop around a lot reading all the interesting topics so I might be half way. I will keep it as a reference and use the ZFS book for the software installation portion that this book covers which is to say the 3rd edition will be welcomed when published. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #508,212 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in BSD Operating System #95 in Computer Operating Systems (Books) #95 in Web Services | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (51) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 1.5 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1593271514 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1593271510 | | Item Weight | 2.76 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 744 pages | | Publication date | November 14, 2007 | | Publisher | No Starch Pr | ## Images ![Absolute FreeBSD: The Complete Guide to FreeBSD, 2nd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iczY9JGPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Making a complex subject understandable *by C***K on March 10, 2010* Lucas has a distinct writing style and geek sense of humor that make this computer book actually readable.

Linux has become an ever-changing, evolving puzzle and, at least for our organization, they've had enough. This is easily the best BSD book I've read. It's not for everyone, though. FreeBSD is solid, professional-grade Unix, and Lucas is a professional administrator. You should expect to use the command line, but Lucas explains the most accepted way to do things so you don't waste time. BSD is very Pythonic in that there is often only one or two ways to do something, which makes it a pleasure to follow along with his examples. His book is not going to baby you, but it also won't talk down to you or be pedantic, either. Anyone who reads it wants to know practical things such as how to install, maintain, and service FreeBSD. They want to know how it works and how to install and use applcations. FreeBSD works as a united and organized whole, which makes the easy things easy and the difficult things possible. Michael Lucas will help you get started on that journey. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1704003-absolute-freebsd-the-complete-guide-to-freebsd-2nd-edition](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1704003-absolute-freebsd-the-complete-guide-to-freebsd-2nd-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
