It makes a pretty darn good desktop too.  :-)

Anyway, on to my question.  I for the life of me can't figure out how to 
update my system.  Everything I read REALLY confuses me.  I was hopeing it 
would be something as simple as emerge world or system like in Gentoo Linux. 
  Anyway, If you could give me a step by step newbie install guide, that 
would help VERY much!  Thanks

Have you read 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html 
?  It's pretty close to a step-by-step guide to updating your system.  It's 
only a few pages long and quite well written.

Joey
