Get a good book about Unix basics.  BSD is Unix, despite of it not
being able to use the name UNIX(TM in some countries, not in mine :).

You can read the FAQ and handbook under /usr/share/doc/FAQ and
/usr/share/doc/handbook with a Web browser (like Lynx from the ports),
but that will only enlighten you about FreeBSD specifics.  Sorry, we
cannot provide you with a Unix tutorial.

Have a look at my home page (see below), there's a link into a site
providing a Unix primer.  The link might be slow for you, best use it
at times when it's night in Middle Europe.
