Hi,

I'm considering moving from Windoze to *BSD, but as I'd be VERY new to =
it, not a programmer, and hate command-line stuff (yes, I'm an Offical =
Windows Drone and I appreciate GUI's as it makes things faster), I'm in =
dire need of some prelim info:

First, what are the diffs between OpenBSD and FreeBSD?  How does =
TrustedBSD fit in?

Honestly, I seek the most secure OS available, period, end of story.

Secondly and lastly, I'm curious as to what I should know/read/etc. =
before getting myself into more trouble than I can handle.  After all, =
moving from Windoze is a BIG THING considering that I'm "pretty good" =
with Windows NT/2000/XP -- which is obviously harder to administrate =
than the Home User crap.  Not to say I'm a SysAdmin or anything... =
although I'd love my knowledge level to be that of an expert!

Thanks a lot for spoon-feeding and cheers!

-Rob :)
