You may want to start here--->http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html Also, in response to your question re: BSD, I'm quoting the first paragraph from p. xxix of The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey: "FreeBSD is a high-performance operating system derived from the Berkeley Software Distribution, or BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California at Berkeley between 1975 and 1993. FreeBSD is not a UNIX clone. Historically and technically, it has greater rights than UNIX System V to be called UNIX. Legally, it may not be called UNIX, since UNIX is now a registered trade mark of The Open Group."
