Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD" was updated to its fourth edition in time to cover most of what is new and exciting in the 5.n series, and contains a lot of useful, non-version specific FreeBSD and Unix info. CFBS is an O'Reilly title now, available direct or via good book stores (online or otherwise). -- Peter N. M.
