    "The Complete FreeBSD" is really great. Since you seem to have some
    Unix-background, it should be rather helpful, both for introduction and
    as an advanced reference manual.

    "Essential System Administration" by Aeleen Frisch, which covers general
    Unix-administration. The FreeBSD version it covers is 4.6, but in
    conjunction with the html-manual it should give you most of the things
    you need.
    The manual (you can find it under /usr/share/doc or online) is really
    good, too.

    If you know German, you can also check out "FreeBSD 5" by "Computer &
    Literatur" (C&L).
