Greg Lehey’s big book, “The Complete FreeBSD”, is now available as a PDF and as a set of source files under a Creative Commons license, meaning anyone can download, update, and submit back changes. This was the first book ever on FreeBSD, and it’s a big ‘un.

I wonder how much effort it would take to “port” the book over to DragonflyBSD? That would be a large aid in gaining mindshare and a good source of documentation. If I part of the leadership I would make this a non-quite-top priority.

It seems quite interesting, DragonFly BSD project needs quite a lot of documentation and improving the official page (integrating dfbsd digest into the official page?).

The book duplicates handbook material to some extent, or doesn’t apply any longer, so updating the handbook is probably the quickest path.
I am curious to see if information from the other BSDs gets added to the book. I think I have a copy of the third edition around here…
