[this is begging for it :]

In effect, yes.  You just need to download/get_a_CD of FreeBSD, load it onto
your PC, boot to it, and presto: you have as many free UNIX accounts as 
you wish :)

Seriously, FreeBSD is an operating system, a UNIX clone derived from U.C.
Berkeley 4.4BSD-Lite2 distribution.  It is not a FreeNet clone.  Even if
you do install FreeBSD (or any other OS for that matter) you still need
an ISP of sorts to get an actual access to Internet (but you already know
that :)
