My advice is always the same...

Go to Walnut Creek on the Web (www.cdrom.com) or get there via
www.freebsd.org and order The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey, and get
the four CDs with it.  This book will give you most of the initial info
you need.  I would supplement with UNIX SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION HANDBOOK
by Nemeth, Snyder, Seebass.

You should also get a catalog from O'Reilly & Associates at www.ora.com
They began publishing "nutshell" handbooks many years ago, that get
right to the point.

I've been around unix for a long, long time.  I was ecstatic to get it
for free (well, I bought the book too).
