Hi John,
So I am sure the replies you have recieved will help
you. I would, however, suggest you post "beginner"
questions to freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org. You will get
a more patient hearing there.
But before posting, go to docs.freebsd.org and search
for their archive of questions and other documentation
before you ask help. This will save you time, instead
of having to wait for answers.
Lastly, if you want to get started off quickly, I
suggest you try Mandrake Linux. It has a super
supportive user community. If you *WANT* to go for
FreeBSD, be prepared to spend time with your computer.


Good luck
Keshav
