Primarily by using it, accompanied by the Handbook and the FAQ, as well as the manpages, I'd suggest. :-) There are good books that teach UNIX fundamentals (which live in all the BSDs), as well as books about FreeBSD in particular. Currently "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System (2nd Edition)" by Marshall Kirk McKusick, George Neville-Neil, & Robert N. M. Watson is on sale: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321968972 But personally, I did also enjoy reading "The magic garden explained. The internals of UNIX System 5 release 4." by Benny Goodheart & James Cox. It describes the inner structures and mechanisms which are found in all the BSDs today. I read books about Solaris and AIX as well and found many similarities in the concepts and even in the implementation. Depending on what you want to study in particular (networking, system-level programming, application development, security models, file systems, etc.), you can concentrate on the corresponding part of the system. Keep in mind: "Nothing is hidden, nothing is revealed." :-) http://catb.org/~esr/writings/unix-koans/mcse.html --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
