Or can I rest assured that the book > contents apply well to FreeBSD? Yes, the book explains everything on 4.3BSD, so everything applies to FreeBSD as well. Of course, FreeBSD (and the other BSD's, too) have had some improvements on various points in the meanwhile. However, since Stevens covers most things related to the Posix and other standards, you can expect everything in the book to work.
