I am quite inexperienced with Linux/Unix. so my experience may be useful to a newbie. I found FreeBSD easier to install that Red Hat Linux and far easier to use than RH. A couple of things I have learned: 1. Install the ports collection. 2. DO NOT try to install applications during the install process. In fact, I found that I didn't like using sysinstall to install apps at all. I just cd to the appropriate ports directory and run make and make install. 3. DO NOT forget to run make clean after installing apps. I couldn't figure out why my hard drive was filling up. I love FreeBSD so far. I wish I had discovered it long ago.
