Im trying to teach myself FreeBSD and this is what i have done so far. I have downloaded and installed FreeBSD 6.1 onto my spare computer. i can boot the computer and login into the # prompt. how do i invoke the KDE windows environment? what are some other resources for me to learn the "how to do"... for example: how do i install applications. Im pretty proficient at using "microsofts" windows environment. any help is greatly appreciated.
