I have to concur with the other poster. You definitely want to take a look
at the handbook, and ,if you're really new to UNIX and FreeBSD, I think you
ought to take a look at getting a CD set. Perhaps you really might be
better off getting the Handbook in dead tree form + CD from cdrom.com or
one of the BSD "mall" sites. If you can't afford the package then by all
means try to download (but read the online handbook first). I am thinking
back, not so long, when I was brand new to all this. It's a lot to digest
all at once. I was more comfortable with book and CD, though I no longer
require such...
