You'll get a far greater response to email sent to this list when it is written well. Secondly, to answer you're question. The FreeBSD power pak, if I'm not mistaken is merely a bunch of tools, ports, etc for FreeBSD, whereas FreeBSD is the actual distribution. I do not personally know if the PowerPak has the distribution as well or not, that may be something to ask the list. I'd reccomend you look at 'The Complete FreeBSD', which is a book that has a copy of FreeBSD shipped with it. If your usage of the system is going to be solely a learning venture then perhaps a well-guided tour via a nice printed manual would be the way to go.
