"Best" is probably subjective, but maybe take a look at the Debian Administrator's Handbook: http://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/

Or install in a VM and experiment. When you break something, you'll learn how to fix it. The VM will allow you to take snapshots, so if you break something beyond repair, you can roll back to a working state and try again.

Did you get FreeBSD up and running? You asked for the best beginner's book for FreeBSD in another thread.

Heh-heh, not going to bite on this thread. I'm loving Debian 7.4 on my Acer netbook.
