1.15 philen 106: McKusick, Bostic and Karels are well known as prime movers at
107: Berkeley CSRG (Computer Systems Research Group) during the 4.3/4.4BSD
108: period. This book covers the 4.4 and 4.4-Lite releases, and discusses

110: 100% applicable, but probably the closest there is to an overall
111: system internals manual for OpenBSD.

120: The Jolitzes built the first port of BSD to the PC-386 architecture,

122: architecture. The earliest versions, called "386bsd", were described
1.46 david 123: in articles in <em>Dr. Dobbs Journal</em>. This book goes beyond the articles,
1.15 philen 124: and provides a comprehensive annotated collection of source code.
125: Not all of it applies to modern versions of OpenBSD, of course, but
126: you can still learn a lot from it.

256: claims that "After 20 years, this is still the best exposition

402: It is common to find that masters of mysterious technical arts are poor communicators. Bruce Schneier
403: demonstrates exceptional skill as a technical communicator. Here is a book about an esoteric subject - one
404: built on a foundation of theoretical mathematics - that ordinary folk can read. Sure, one needs to be
405: motivated by an interest in the subject, and the technical level sometimes requires a more than ordinary

407: derive pleasure and profit from reading Applied Cryptography.</i>"
