Hi:

 I recently got "FreeBSD: An Open-Source operating system for your personal 
computer", by Annelise Anderson. I must say this is a really excellent 
introduction to FreeBSD. Although the book covers FreeBSD 4.3, much of the 
material is still relevant to 4.8. A 4.8 CD was included with the book. She 
has an entire chapter on ports plus a very nice chapter on kernel 
configuration and compiling. She covers the commands: kldstat, kldload, 
dmesg, ldconfig, last, netstat, w, who, ps and top. She covers cvsup too.  I 
learned a lot about my new FreeBSD by reading this book.
