Yes. As long as you don't have old IDE hardware, 4.0 is your best
choice. The 3.5 branch is going into maintenance mode, so by using 4.0
now you will get the state of the art technology, and you will only have
to learn things once.
If you have more questions down the road, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
is your best bet for most things.
Good luck,
Doug
