# Much of the documentation is helpful, but what I am really looking for
# is a good book which presents an overview of the structure of UNIX /
# FreeBSD, outlining the multiplicity of components and files. Something
# that explains the concepts. Yes, I&#8217;ve got the installation notes
# along with some system admin stuff, but I need that crucial background.
# Something that tells me precisely what files and binaries are necessary,
# what they do, and where they are located.

I would probably try out the following books:

- FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for your PC by Annelise
Anderson

small plug for me... you can find a review of the book at:

http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200109/fbsd_bookreview.html

it's kind of lengthy, but it might help you figure out if it's right for
you)

- The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey

It's a nice book and it's the one that got me started in FreeBSD.
