The book I wrote for users new to both FreeBSD and UNIX, FreeBSD: An Open Source Operating System for Your Personal Computer, first published in August 2001 and available continuously in the first and then the second edition on Amazon and BSDMall, is now out of print.
I've therefore made the pdf files (four of them) used to print the book on my web page and ftp server: http://andrsn.stanford.edu/FreeBSD/introbook and ftp://andrsn.stanford.edu/pub/introbook The book was written for FreeBSD 4.x and hasn't been updated for 5.x or 6.x. Nevertheless, people continue to ask for it and send me messages that it's been helpful. This is, I think, because it assumes virtually zero knowledge of UNIX or FreeBSD and was carefully written not to assume in one chapter information not covered until a later chapter. The book is still under copyright and thus isn't available for commercial reprint, but for personal use.
