I've been using Microsoft Windows for four years, and apart from Apple, it's the only OS I've used. A few days ago, I went to www.freebsd.org, made an installation CD from its image files, and installed FreeBSD on my other computer. Of course, I wasn't at all used to my computer being a command line prompt. I couldn't do anything with my computer--can't run programs, can't install programs, can't even connect to the Internet. For those of you who have experience with both Windows and FreeBSD, can you please tell me how to even use FreeBSD? I'm so used to turning on my computer and seeing all the programs I have very neatly laied out on the desktop. On FreeBSD, do we have to install all the programs we want--and the OS itself is just like the control center for the programs? How do I install a program from CD? Once I get the Internet connection working, if I want to install Apache, do I download the version for UNIX, burn in onto a CD, and install the program from the CD? Hope you can help.

Hi! Can I ask a really stupid question?
      I've been using Microsoft Windows for four years, and apart from Apple, it's the only OS I've used. A few days ago, I went to www.freebsd.org, made an installation CD from its image files, and installed FreeBSD on my other computer. Of course, I wasn't at all used to my computer being a command line prompt. I couldn't do anything with my computer--can't run programs, can't install programs, can't even connect to the Internet.
      For those of you who have experience with both Windows and FreeBSD, can you please tell me how to even use FreeBSD? I'm so used to turning on my computer and seeing all the programs I have very neatly laied out on the desktop. On FreeBSD, do we have to install all the programs we want--and the OS itself is just like the control center for the programs? How do I install a program from CD?
      Once I get the Internet connection working, if I want to install Apache, do I download the version for UNIX, burn in onto a CD, and install the program from the CD?
       Hope you can help.
