Considering BSD

Hello! I am new to these forums, so please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong section.

I am considering BSD as a Desktop operating system. I am a Linux user; but I would not consider myself technical at all. Would BSD be a good choice as a Desktop OS? What would some common issues be? What are the pros and cons of BSD over Linux? What are the similarities? Also, which BSD distribution would be best to use? I hear lots of good things about FreeBSD.

Thanks

INTRO(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  INTRO(1)

NAME

     intro -- introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)

DESCRIPTION

     Section one of the manual contains most of the commands which comprise the BSD user environment.  Some of the commands included in section
     one are text editors, command shell interpreters, searching and sorting tools, file manipulation commands, system status commands, remote
     file copy commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler tools, formatted output tools, and line printer commands.

     All commands set a status value upon exit which may be tested to see if the command completed normally.  The exit values and their meanings
     are explained in the individual manuals.  Traditionally, the value 0 signifies successful completion of the command.
