While the handbook isn't the same as reading the actual source or the
only FreeBSD documentation, it certainly is quite good (to the point
that publishers see small market to publish FreeBSD books because the
documentation provided by the project is so good), IMHO.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

If anyone on this list has any issues with the documentation, please
take them up with me _privately_ and I will do my best to either
address or correct the problem.
