If you official maintain software for an operating system you not only need to be _familiar_ with the operating system, you also need to chase after the source code, if upstream discontinues a project and somebody forks it or upstream migrated from one software hosting service to another and there are few additional things to do, that are very time consuming and that have nothing to do with becoming familiar with the operating system. You are interested in networking? Search https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ for the term "network". Learn how to read man(ual) pages, such as https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?ls or https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tcsh&sektion=1&manpath=freebsd-release-ports man pages are the build in manual, but for a newbie the man pages are not easy to understand. Apropos shells: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/linux-users/shells.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/shells.html Learning by doing. Start a simple project. Kind of an advanced "Hello, World!" script that has something to do with your interests, maybe networking, instead of a program, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_World!%22_program .
