The macenterprise.com mailing list is pretty busy, and can provide a lot of information. You can search their archives without signing up.
Another good resource for OS X specific information is macosxhints.com. They categorize the hints, so a quick search of the "System" category can help for those "how do i..." times.

Apple likes to make significant changes to the system tools. The biggest one I can think of off the top of my head is the NetInfo database. It was a part of all OS X versions through Tiger (10.4.x). The "ni" commands were pretty well known to Mac admins.
Apple completely removed NetInfo from Leopard (10.5).

To their credit, they included Directory Services (the replacement for NetInfo) "ds" commands in Tiger as well, so admins could get used to living without ni commands well before Leopard, and move forward at a leisurely pace converting scripts that required it.

Good Luck, and Good Fun!
