Does anyone have detailed info on how to download the files. I go to www.freebsd.com and then i dont know what to do. I dont know why i dont know but im drawing a complete blank so is there anyone that can provide a step by step procedure for downloading/installing Linux?

This page discusses where to go , what to download and what to do.
It's the freeBSD handbook - the index. You will need to download the pages of this book first and print them for reference.

Note that FreeBSD is UNIX, Linux is not. Although Linux does look, act, and taste like UNIX :-). But there are subtle differences that you need to be aware of.

For example, on my Linux machine, /bin/sh is exactly the bash shell. On my Solaris box, /bin/sh is the Bourne shell. Although Solaris is not FreeBSD, it's another UNIX, and it's an example of a subtle variation between Linux and UNIX.
