Coming from Linux to BSD you'll find that many of the various utilities (ps, ifconfig, route, etc.) are just a wee pit different, nothing too bad and nothing the man pages won't help you with.
You have this mailing list and others like it, as well as up to date man pages and a handbook that reflects the current state of the code base.
