I haven't found any books like that.
If you have a user's group near you, that's the ticket. I found that some
Linux groups have FBSD users too.  I have been fantasizing about a book
that's and intro. to unix AND a freeBSD guide at the same time. Most intro
level unix docs. bone you up on telneting into a server and then explaining
the file system first, then commands, ect.

it would be cool for a intro unix book to use the FBSD platform as the
learning vehicle. also would be a great sysadmin learning tool, - just get
some old clones and set up a network, servers, subnets - hands-on at home -
"we'll show you how".
