Another poster directed you to www.freebsd.whatver. Also,
/usr/share/FAQ is your friend. There you will find a FreeBSD
FAQ and a BSD FAQ. man and apropos is your friend too.
You MUST run out and buy _Unix System Administration Handbook_,
second edition by Evi Nemeth. The Red one, not the Yellow one.
It will cost you $50. It will save you an order of magnitude
more grief than that and it comes with a CDROM full of stuff you
want anyway. I balked at the price. I looked at shelfs full of
cheaper and more expensive books that do not have a fraction of
the useful information in them than you will find in this book.
