Someone else can probably answer this better than I can..

Yes, FreeBSD uses X for a graphical interface, just like Linux. Unlike most=
=20
linux distributions, FreeBSD doesn't install X by default, so you need to=20
install X and configure your choice of window manager/desktop environment.=
=20

You can do this from the install program (/stand/sysinstall), but I'd=20
recommend reading the handbook - it will tell you how do do all of this. Yo=
u=20
can access the handbook at=20
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

Once you have a web browser installed, you can also use the local copy=20
at /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html

Section 5 tells you how to install & configure X (you should use Xorg, not=
=20
XFree86 if you are using FreeBSD 5.3 or later).

Yes, the # prompt mean you are logged on correctly as root.

You shouldn't normally login as root though - see section 13 of the handboo=

for information on how to create a normal user. Use root only for tasks tha=

Check out the handbook - it's a great source of information on most aspects=

installing and running FreeBSD. If you still have trouble, you can always a=

on this list.

Good luck!
