Note that FreeBSD has _excellent_ documentation which
often is considered superior to what you find on many
Linux distributions. System programs, configuration files,
kernel interfaces, library functions and maintenance
procedures have a man page. If you know how to use
the "apropos" and "man" commands, you're ready to go.
Those are among the most important skills in the real
UNIX world.
