If you're learning Linux, FreeBSD isn't all that different. The 4.4BSD
manual set from O'Reilley & Associates & USENIX is terse, but complete,
and almost totally applicable to FreeBSD. Also, check the FAQ and Handbook
on http://www.freebsd.org, and the bibliography therein. The Handbook
especially is good for getting your system up, running, and in order to
use the references available online (man pages and such).
