What I found at Border's was a real beginner's book.  Or, will I end up with a couple of books?  I have the "Unix in a Nutshell" by O'Reilly but would like to zero in on BSD.

The handbook is a wonderful in-depth reference to FreeBSD; it gives tips and 
tricks while detailing pretty much every aspect of the base system (and covers 
a bit more). You can get a printed version from the FreeBSD Mall 
(http://www.freebsdmall.com) and you'll be helping to support the project!

Kind regards,
