Welcome to the happy throng. Two things you should probably be aware of.
First, 5.0 is a "developer's release," meaning that it's got a lot of
rough edges that we're currently working on smoothing out. As a new
user, you'd be much happier with the 4.8 release, or the upcoming 4.9
release.
Second, this list is chartered for discussing new user experiences...
not questions. So, if you have any questions, you should ask them on the
freebsd-questions list. The folks there will be very glad to help you.
Enjoy,
Doug
