I'd recommend using FreeBSD 2.2, which is the latest and greatest
and will come out in the near future. 2.2-GAMMA SNAP is already out.

Maybe you want to purchase CD-Rom && "The whole FreeBSD" book from
Greg Lehey as a bundle ... As fas as I know this book covers many
aspects of FreeBSD system administration and might be useful for you.

	see http://www.cdrom.com/
	see http://www.freebsd.org/

Another good source is the FreeBSD Handbook, which is part of the
Operating system.
