The first draft is complete at 220,000 words. It’s out for community tech review right now.

Congratulations!
With no experience in writing at all, this seems very quick! Is the anemia fully cured?
I’m looking forward to reading it. ?
So long as I stay on top of my blood iron, it should be cured. I’m no longer on steroids, at least. Now I just have to lose the weight they added. 🙁
Will there be an early version available for purchasing?
Probably, but next year.
I wish I could buy it right now 🙁
Where can I get a hands on the First Draft for review?
I just installed FreeBSD 12 for the first time last night on an an older Macbook.
I’ve used Linux for a long time, but don’t know anything about *BSD.
I would really appreciate advice from your book.
Thank you.
Best I can do for you is to tell you to watch for the nostarch early access program. Sorry.
Nice job 🙂 Do you think we’ll have a paper version for FOSDEM 2018 (3-4/02/2017) ?
*2018, sorry ;D
Sorry, no. Not even for 3-4/02-2018.
