I assume you already have been at: http://www.freebsd.org/ :-) There's the Handbook. This is probably also installed on your FreeBSD machine. There are also links to other pages about FreeBSD. You can also visit: http://www.freebsddiary.org/ http://ezine.daemonnews.org/ What programming language you should learn depend on what you want to do. At least you should hae a basic knowledge in shell-scripts, as they are all around your system, and you might need to change them. Perl (http://www.perl.org/) is a quite useful language, that can take care of most things, from writing simple CGI-scripts (for the www) to much more advanced applications. If you are interested in making nice web-pages, maybe with a databasecon- nection you probably would like to learn PHP (http://www.php.net/). If you want to make very advanced programming (that of course not allways has to be advanced :-) you can try out C/C++. Hope this info did help.
