Today I got a special delivery from the post-office, the sender was “Lucas”. For people that are not that aware of the FreeBSD developers (or BSD developers better said), Michael Lucas is one of those developers, and writer of several books, amongst them “The Absolute FreeBSD” and now “The Absolute FreeBSD 2nd edition”.
Some time ago Michael started with his 2nd edition of The Absolute FreeBSD, and he sought for reviewers and people that wanted to proofread his work. I was one of them and I read the files with great enthusiasm. Something different then I do normally (working on PR’s, secteam, bugmeister, doc team member, VuXML etc) so great to do for a change.
The package contained this second edition of The Absolute FreeBSD, signed by Michael himself 
I feel honored, because that was not the initial goal the goal was to learn about the book, give practical tips or tell about differences that I saw, and now I also got a signed copy of his book
While reading through the first pages (Yeah ofcourse you look through them if you worked on it :-)) and yeah my name was in the introduction
From experience this is a really great book, if you want to learn about FreeBSD and seek for a good and readable book, please buy this book! You can find more information on the internet ofcourse, one of the links being:

Michael; thanks for the book! It will surely help other people gaining good knowledge!
