Don't know of any good webpages, but latest edition of the book "UNIX 
System Adminstration" would be very useful in this regards. It covers 
several UNIX systems, including Solaris and FreeBSD.

In a nutshell, Solaris is a classic SysV system, and FreeBSD is mostly 
classic BSD. Any discussion of the differences between SysV and BSD will 
be germane.
