A book about FreeBSD, integration, and the quiet confidence that comes
from owning the entire stack. 22 chapters across four parts, from the
philosophical argument to hands-on practice. Written in British English
with the dry humour one expects from someone who has spent thirty years
administering servers and wishing they were simpler.
Ein Buch über FreeBSD, Integration und die stille Zuversicht,
die entsteht, wenn man den gesamten Stack selbst verantwortet. 22 Kapitel
in vier Teilen, vom philosophischen Argument bis zur konkreten Praxis.
