I'm new to FreeBSD as well as Linux. I know nothing about about programming and am relying mostly on what any CD containing either operating system will do to install itself on my computer. The computer that I'm using to learn about FreeBSD is an IBM Aptiva with a AMD K6-2 processor. The first thing I would like to accomplish is to get either the KDE or Gnome GUIs started. I have version 4.9 of FreeBSD. Any advice or any websites that can help a dummy like me get going will help very much.
