Is there a 300-page or less book that can teach practical usage of FreeBSD? Like the C book or the UNIX programming environment book. I have it installed on one of my laptops but never got around to use it.

There’s the FreeBSD handbook. Iirc it and the forums help the most. And the usual google. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

  Thanks. I'm aware of that handbook but somehow I find web-based books lack the charm of a real book but eventually once I know my way around it, I'm sure I'll come to it.

    There’s a two part book available on Amazon from the FreeBSD documentation project titled FreeBSD Handbook. Meant for going from 0 knowledge and up.
