That _must_ be FreeBSD itself because it doesn't have a precursor (sorry my English is going stale). FreeBSD is much easier to even install I can assure you. I've meant to try OpenBSD and it's a nightmare for me going past their fdisk/disklabel. Another thing, there are two commands in FreeBSD (Unix generally): 1. apropos 2. man While they may not be so friendly to a newbie they can start you off. Of course there is also a list for newbies (I guess) where you can ask newbie questions. This list is also of much help if they believe you've done what it takes at your level to tackle an issue before asking (that is what I've learnt while here). So start by man man man apropos Look at the handbook (http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook) and sometimes a search on the net will also help.
