    Also, a good book on system administration is:

Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass & Trent R. Hein,
	``Unix System Administration Handbook'', Prentice-Hall, 1995
	ISBN: 0-13-151051-7

NOTE: make sure you get the second edition, with a red cover, instead of
the first edition.

This book covers the basics, as well as TCP/IP, DNS, NFS, SLIP/PPP,
sendmail, INN/NNTP, printing, etc..  It's expensive (approx. US$45-$55),
but worth it.  It also includes a CDROM with the sources for various
tools; most of these, however, are also on the FreeBSD 2.1.0R CDROM (and
the FreeBSD CDROM often has newer versions).

[ Yes, the above was plagiarized from the FAQ, but, as I wrote the above
  FAQ entry, I can do this.  ;-) ]
