I have no idea about online classes. You can find online information
about FreeBSD online at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ .

A good book for beginners is "Learning the Unix Operating System" by
O'Reilly and associates.

If you are learning FreeBSD then you _ARE_ learning unix. FreeBSD is a
unix operating system. 

If you want to learn unix/FreeBSD then dive in. The learning curve is
steep. You will have to do some reading. It is well worth it. I was a
complete unix newbie two years ago. Now I use FreeBSD almost
exclusively.

Have fun,	 | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...
