Yes. I had virtually no experience in administering a UN*X system
before I set my FBSD box up. I did know the really basic commandline
stuff ("ls", "cp" and "vi" were about it), but nothing else. I had
everything (X Windows, DHCP network, soundcard) working after a week-
end of sporadic attention.
The most important things to do before your install are:
a) Read the documentation
(http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html is a good place to
start. Get a hardcopy if possible).
b) Back up your files.
c) Read the documentation again.
Cheers, Matt
