Forum Reactions
Some users have expressed enthusiasm about the book, like this one:
I have had various servers over time running FreeBSD, both physically in my home, rented bare metal servers and rented VPSes. So I’m not exactly a newcomer to FreeBSD, but I am wondering if this book might be relevant to me anyways.
Others have raised concerns about the book’s writing style:
The style of the blog post, with short, abrupt sentences does not captivate me. I’d like to think someone writing a book has a more interesting writing style.
Technical Concerns
Some users have discussed technical issues with their current FreeBSD setups, such as file system layout and ZFS fragmentation:
What I really would like is to have it so that one ZFS “dataset” contains only the base system as it comes from a fresh install, and to have config changes I’ve added be separately stored and somehow overlaid on top of that.
