I cannot tell you where *exactly* the differences are, but I always like having a printed book handy, in case something goes really wrong and leaves me unable to access the online handbook. "The Complete FreeBSD" is quite a good book, in my opinion. If you - like me - - like having a real book around, I can recommend this one. It is available via... well, book stores. I got mine via amazon.de, but you can probably order a copy in any book store that has O'Reilly books. Or you can order via freebsdmall.com or something like that, check www.freebsd.org for sources. The drawback is the price, "The Complete FreeBSD" comes for $ 45.00 (I got it cheaper because of the euro being at ~1.14 US-Dollars at the time), but if you plan to work with FreeBSD for some time, and if you aren't an a unix wizard, this book's really helpful. What I like about it, is that it's suitable both as a beginner's introduction and as a reference manual for more experienced users, so if you buy it, it will remain useful for some time.

No. "The Complete FreeBSD" is a different book, much as "Absolute BSD" by Michael Lucas and "FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer" by Annelise Andersen are different books. I haven't read any of the the three mentioned above, so make no recommendation. > If not, how can I obtain a printed copy of the handbook other than > printing it myself (something I don't want to do ;-)) The FreeBSD Mall sell paper copies on their website at www.freebsdmall.com.
