Read the FreeBSD handbook.

I found out that FreeBSD was much easier to follow (Files and Such ) 
than Linux  about 9 years ago and have rarely looked back. Unless of 
course when a client has Linux on a server or whatever.  If you have run 
Linux than you can easily note the file names that are different in 
FreeBSD.  You'll see that many  are the same.

Enjoy!
