FreeBSD has the best official docs I've ever seen for an OS:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

The mailing lists and forums are good places to get questions 
answered.  I've never had problems finding solutions, if they 
exist. ;) Arch's wiki might be the best such informational 
resource I've ever seen though.

It's worth trying FreeBSD if you're at all interested in tech 
like zfs, zones, dtrace, bhyve, etc.  Pacman is better than any 
other package manager I've used though.
