Hi Mark,

wow, you must be living in the future. AFAIK Linux is now in Release
2.4 stable and 2.5 development.

FreeBSD don't have the rpm (so called packet management). In FreeBSD
you'll discover the ports system to build and add software and after
that you'll don't like rpm anymore.

To download FreeBSD just follow the download-link on
http://www.freebsd.org/. You'll get an iso image that you can burn on
cd and boot your PC from.

If this is your first install (and I strongly think so) you shouldn't
boot your computer before you read at least chapter 2 of the handbook.
