Books. FreeBSD is free but I have happily spent a lot on their published volumes. They are readable and understandable. Start with "Learning the Unix Operating System", if you are as rank a newbie as you say and I was. (I now have a small lan with a gateway to the net at home - running FreeBSD, of course:-)) The FreeBSD book and CD are _excellent_ investments. When my primary IDE drive 'sploded. I broke down and bought an Adaptec SCSI controller and an older (6X) Teac CDROM. The machine will Boot from the CD and you can do a clean install - with no sweat. (Read the docs on line and with the CD - REALLY READ THEM.) With all that and this list to help - they really do (Thanks, Y'all), your adventure will begin. Have Fun!
