I also recommend "Absolute BSD", by Michael Lucas. It is subtitled "The
ultimate guide to FreeBSD", and is very comprehensive. It is more
technical, and less a beginer's guide, than "FreeBSD Unleashed". It
gives lots of information on security and configuration; there is a
complete run-down of the /etc hierarchy, for example.
ISBN 1-886411-74-3.
