Now it`s time to look in the handbook. I don't know how you installed your system (CD? Network?), which version you have chosen exactly and what you installed besides the base system, so it could be already on your disk, but for sure it is at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html It will cover many of your questions, e.g. X, sound, modem configuration. Look especially at chapter I.4. . There you will find how to install applications. If your X isn't installed yet, that's the way to go. You normally find the relevant files in /usr/ports/x11/XFree* depending on what video card you have and if it is supported by version 3 or 4 (most modern cards need this version) of XFree86. To answer this question have a look at: http://www.xfree86.org/support.html Binaries, which belong to the system, are installed in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin. Binaries, which are installed by the ports system, are installed in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. Type man hier to get more information about the directory layout. How to see them all at once depends on your shell. Note that the standard FreeBSD shell is tcsh not bash, like in Linux. If you want you can install bash out of the ports system, of course.
