Using the handbook in connection with man is in my opinion the best option. For the rest, just ask on one of the mailing lists. When I moved back to BSD years ago, I went to my local bookshop and bought some of the books available there. This has had the advantage for me that the authors used their own language describing features of FreeBSD. The handbook is some times very abstract making it difficult for beginners. Erich
