The files installed into /usr/share/doc/ are generally very good and cover various aspects for both beginners and intermediate freebsd users. Other than that, someone posted a good detailed list of BSD sites (not just FreeBSD) recently on the freebsd-questions list: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questions&m=107419514917946&w=2 you should find a lot of decent BSD specific reading there.
