Thomas: If you're new to Unix, you'll be best off buying the FreeBSD boxed CD set which I've seen at major electronics superstores (and some really good bookstores). The set comes with a book that you'll definitely want. You need to understand, though, that it's not a Windows application -- it's an operating system, just as Windows claims to be =). Your best bet is to install it on a computer that doesn't need to be 24/7 reliable, because you'll make mistakes and lose data until you get used to it. Read the book first, be persistent, and you'll be fine.
