If you've already got Installing & Running, you probably don't need "The
Complete" since it's just I&R plus a bunch of man pages.  We're
currently working on a totally new, updated "FreeBSD Complete" which
includes much-needed tutorials and is more directly based on the
Handbook and FAQ documents.

A good general book is also Evi Nemeth's Unix System Administrator's
guide.  There's a cite for it in the Handbook biblio section.
