A printed installation guide that's well balanced between terseness and completeness. The remainder of the documentation is all online, as man pages or other document files... not to mention the sourcecode itself. If you can, go for the CDROM distribution, as you can put the disk online and have all the goodies up for perusal without soaking your hard disk. If you've ever admined a BSD'ish machine before, you'll not have much trouble. If you haven't, then I suggest you troll the bookstores for a book on system administration in a BSD'ish environment. That and the man pages should take care of anyone. I don't have a good book recommendation off the cuff, though. Bdale, another very satisfied BSDI customer.
