There are many good books out there on system administration, but
the one I would recommend if you are starting out is the 2nd edition
of Evi Nemeth et al.'s "UNIX System Administration Handbook"
(ISBN 0-13-151051-7).  It addresses BSD/OS specifically (v 1.1,
but it hasn't changed all that much) and constrasts it with other
versions, including SystemV derivatives.  It also has a cdrom with
several utilities not included in the BSD/OS distribution.
