I was introduced to FreeBSD by a friend.  He spent quite a bit of time in 
email and on AIM helping me and I spent a *lot* of time hunting down WWW 
pages and references.  I'm still learning.

But, I can say with "Complete" confidence that the one resource which helped 
me the most was my purchase of The Complete FreeBSD, 4th Edition.  It's still 
a very useful reference now and beginning to look a bit dog-eared after being 
thumbed through so many times ;-)

You're contributions to the community are obviously greatly appreciated by 
many more than just me as evidenced by the other replies already in this 
thread.

This is probably the ultimate icing on the cake with regard to online FreeBSD 
documentation.

Thanks not only for a great book but for now making it available to the whole 
community.
