Two books specific to OpenBSD are now available, and although they first
appeared last July they have been a bit hard to get a hold of.  The OpenBSD
ordering site has carried them for a few months, but supply was limited
and slow.  They are both in good supply now.

Despite our great man pages, it is still a milestone in the maturation and
increasing credibility of OpenBSD to see specific books written for the
project.  So if there is anyone out there that doesn't know it yet, and
who has a penchant for real tangible documentation, feel free to check
out:

"Absolute OpenBSD" by Michael W. Lucas

or

"Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF" by Jacek Artymiak
[now 2nd Edition]

Descriptions, links to tables of contents, and cover pictures can be found
at:

http://www.openbsd.org/books.html

and

http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html#books

They are available at the OpenBSD website, and your favorite bookstore (do
insist -- just give them the ISBN from one of the links above).

PS:  Coming this Spring, expect an announcement about availability of
"OpenBSD Security -- the Complete Guide" to be published by Wiley.
