The AbsoluteFreeBSD book is great even if it is a little dated. Learned much from it. Poudriere is great, when I get my raspberry-pi2 on FreeBSD it will become my package repo as well as my name server and email server. Just have to learn how to run STABLE/CURRENT. It would be nice if the base system was also in pkg, but you can't have everything.
