commands

hi, I'm completely new to FreeBds or unix in general, is there a really nice site to teach you the basic ommands to free BSD.
I don't know what to do. =(

Here is a list of sites that can be helpful:

http://www.freebsd.org
http://www.freebsdvault.net
http://www.freebsddiary.org
http://www.freebsdforums.org
http://www.daemonnews.org
http://www.freebsdzine.org

Since you are new to Unix, I would suggest that you
also consider using Redhat or other flavor of Linux which
is easier to install and use.

Best Wishes!

Yes, and many are open to download.
There are many, many to choose from -
CDE/Motif, KDE, Gnome, GNUStep... etc.
