Hi,

Books about Linux have "...Linux..." in their title. Books about
FreeBSD, just have "...BSD..." or "...UNIX..." in their title ...:-))

Here is one which has FreeBSD in the title:

Greg Lehey
Installing and Running FreeBSD
Walnut Creek
ISBN 1-57176-139-x

Other good books are:

4.4 BSD Document Set from O'Reilly
(5 Books + 1 CD-ROM)

Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System
Addison Wesley
ISBN 0-201-54979-4

Another aproach: get all O'reilly Books with Unix in their names :-))

Regards Stephan
