I've used FreeBSD since about year 2000, in the early 4.x days. I've never taken a course on FreeBSD, everything has been self-taught, and I've tried to stay up to date on changes, but I've probably missed out on some of what has been added or changed between 4.x and 8.0, or maybe even something which has been there from the start.
I've been re-researching FreeBSD as much as I could the past two months, ignoring my assumptions and digging through man pages, hand book and Google on (almost) everything I've done, to make sure I have up-to-date knowledge.
However, I'm now trying to find subsystems, features, configurations and other things that I haven't already retouched my knowledge on. Since I can't ask you to suggest things I don't know, as that would require a comprehensive list of everything that I *do* know, I'm going to ask this instead: What subsystems, feature or tip do you think is a must-know or good-to-know for an all-around FreeBSD administrator?
It would be awesome if you could also add information about use cases to your reply, as I think that would increase the benefit for future readers.
