The FreeBSD Handbook is actually quite readable *and* very
comprehensive. Much better than any howto I've seen.

It doesn't just say "use pkg_info|less to list all packages" but
explains what ports & packages are, so you understand what goes wrong
after you do pkg_add -f and some obscure library breaks.
