On the freebsd.org site look under "Resources for Newbies" and find the link(s) to "For People New to Both FreeBSD and UNIX" by Anneliese Anderson -- the best short introduction around. I'll defer to others on how you get from where you are now to running an intranet, but there's absolutely no reason you can't become proficient with FreeBSD.
