Subject: Re: Absolute FreeBSD
It is aimed pretty squarely at budding sysadmins, not desktop users (X
is hardly even mentioned),
We have many FreeBSD servers at my job that do many different things
for people. Only 1 of them requires X in any form at all - and all it
uses are the X libraries to do some graphics processing. It does not
run a window manager. You can get a huge amount of useful work done
on FreeBD without having anything to do with X.

It wasn't a criticism - I just wanted to point out the sort of audience
the book speaks to: people who run servers - who, as you say, have
little or no need for X. I wanted to learn exactly the sort of stuff the
book focused on, and loved it.
