That is Great!

Actually Dru's book BSD hacks is already published by a Retailer for
Rs/INR 375 ( 10% discount available for all prices here ) ( 1 USD
approximately equals 45 Rs/INR )

Contacting Michael proved difficult in the begining.
But Dru did contact him ( so sweet of her ) and she asked me to
contact the publisher Nostarch.
The publisher was extremly friendly I have to say an we have the
following books also on BSDs

Michael Lucas
Absolute BSD: The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD
Cover : Rs. 450
        

Michael W Lucas
Absolute OpenBSD: UNIX for the Practical Paranoid
Cover : Rs. 400

Also now this one is also available :-)

Yanek Korff
Mastering Freebsd and Openbsd Security
Cover : Rs. 425

When I started using BSDs the only BSD book available in the country was

The Complete Reference FreeBSD and
DESIGN AND IPLEMENTATION OF THE 4.4 BSD OPERATING SYSTEM ( too costly
for students )

Now there are more.

Also I hope that the MetaBUG will be a *MetaRESOURCE* for all those
who want to get certified through the BSD Certification program too
:-)

Kind Regards
