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.

Yes, "Absolute FreeBSD" by Michael W. Lucas: https://nostarch.com/absfreebsd3

Currently part of a Humble Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/linux-bsd-bookshelf-2019-...

Thanks, I'll probably get it.

There’s the FreeBSD handbook. Iirc it and the forums help the most. And the usual google.

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.
