Michael Lucas and Greg Lehey, both of whom know their stuff and have been 
extremely helpful to many users (my words understate both knowledge and 
helpfulness), have recently had published or are about to have published, 
respectively, excellent books on FreeBSD.  Mr. Lucas' 'Absolute FreeBSD: 
The Ultimate Guide to FreeBSD' was published not long ago, and the fourth 
edition of Mr. Lehey's 'The Complete FreeBSD' should be out in May AIUI.
