"My current favorite is Absolute OpenBSD: Unix for the Practical Paranoid by Michael W. Lucas from No Starch Press. Anyone should be able to read this book, download OpenBSD, and get it running as quickly as possible."
--Infoworld, December 29, 2006 (Read more)

"Absolute OpenBSD is a very highly recommended and distinctly 'user friendly' resource for OpenBSD users everywhere."
--The Midwest Book Review

"Absolute OpenBSD by Michael Lucas is a broad and mostly gentle introduction into the world of the OpenBSD operating system. It is sufficiently complete and deep to give someone new to OpenBSD a solid footing for doing real work and the mental tools for further exploration. [...] The potentially boring topic of systems administration is made very readable and even fun by the light tone that Lucas uses."
--Chris Palmer, President, San Francisco Open BSD Users Group

"[This] is a well-written book that hits its market squarely on target. Those new to OpenBSD will appreciate the comprehensive approach that takes them from concept to functional execution. Existing and advanced users will benefit from the discussion of OpenBSD- specific topics such as the security features and pf administration."
--Slashdot

"I recommend Absolute OpenBSD to all programmers and administrators working with the OpenBSD operating system (OS), or considering it."
--UnixReview
