I agree with people's recommendations so far, such as Unleashed and the Handbook, but I'd like to take a second to plug a book that I co-wrote: "The Practice of System and Network Administration" by Limoncelli & Hogan. It isn't about FreeBSD specifically, it's about the best practices and policies for large sites no matter what OS you are using: from how to build a good email infrastructure, how to manage your boss, write security policies that get followed, plan a budget, hire and fire sysadmins, and so on. (the first half is all technical, the second half is all operational and organizational). It's been well-received in the open source community, most likely because it has a "how to convince your boss to adopt open source" section :-). Peter Salus in Usenix ;login: has mentioned it favorably a few times.
