McMinnville, TN Area FreeBSD UG?

I would go to questions, but I'm not sure it's relevant there so I thought I'd ask here. I just received a new, never been unwrapped before I touched it, audio CD (Santcus Real, Pieces of a Real Heart). I can play it via 'cdcontrol play' but it won't play in VLC, Audacious won't recognize it, and

I just got done with my first install, from CD, no net connection (currently) to the box. I was kind of concerned about how I was going to install the tools I need to start being productive (starting with a shell other then sh).

I've recently downloaded FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE and am hopefully going to have it up and running on my computer (a different machine then the one I'm writing from) by the end of next week so I thought I'd introduce myself and tell a little bit about myself. I started using Linux (I know, I know, Free
