I certainly wouldn't put it like that.  Large parts of CFBSD address
desktop setups.  Obviously with a name like that, it needs to address
servers too.  And in all likelihood you'll find yourself running
servers sooner than you think.

That's in there.

Design and Implementation is a very different book.  It doesn't do
server setup: it's for kernel software developers.  A good book, but
presumably not what you're looking for.
