i just got gold member, and have access to the draft (will we have access to the full blown electronic copy ?) but for sure I will buy the hard copy. Do you guys plan to put it at pre-order on amazon sooner than the release ?

Yes, it will be on Amazon once we get all of the publishing details worked out.

@jimp:

I think, but I don't know for certain, that we will have a way to purchase an electronic copy directly from us rather than through Amazon or similar.

What's the status with this?

I am also anticipating this book. In july it was 95 - 99% complete. Is it any closer?

I ordered the first book. I plan on getting the new one as well. Anymore news on the progress and release date and is there some other books you would also recommend. Covering 2.x ?

jimp · Dec 5, 2013, 1:17 PM

No date for release yet.

There aren't any other books for 2.x that we can recommend.

Guest · Dec 5, 2013, 5:25 PM

It will be great if you add chapters about some popular packages (like squid) in new edition.

ripper · Dec 5, 2013, 11:10 PM

That's what I thought. All the other books I found had terrible reviews. That's why I purchased the first book. Thanks for your response and I'm waiting in anticipation for the release announcement. Hopefully it won't be to much longer

Gold subscribers can download and read the very real draft of the book. There is some work left and some publishing hurdles to jump yet but it will be out soon.

Hello,

It's worth it to buy the new gold subscription!

I like the first book. I found it helpful in setting up pfsense .
as with others I'm looking for updated information on the release of the new version of your book.
How is it coming and is there any light at the end of the tunnel yet.
