Hi,

I'd recommed FreeBSD 4.8 to you, since 5.1 has still some issues.

Here is how to get FreeBSD:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html

Generally, FreeBSD's documentation is really outstanding, here are some
links:
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

HTH,
 Simon
