Commands to get info about system

What are the best commands that I can used to get information about the system.

I just got a dedicated server as a present and need to learn freeBSD 4.9 commands.

I need to find out what the directory structure, who the users are, what the system RAM is along with hard drive, what deamons are running.


Thanks
Paul

consult the online handbook (excellent source):
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.IS...book/index.html

The handbook goes into great detail about the directory tree struckure in chapter 3:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.IS...rstructure.html

the manpages are your best source about tools and commands(also available online at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi)

read the manpages on the following:

ps (lists running processes so you can see the daemons)
dmesg (lists the boot messages, showing much of the hardware)
top (shows current "top" processes)
fdisk (Slice table maintenance)
who (info on currently logged in users)
finger (system user information)
