FreeBSD is more difficult to set up than some of the Linux distros. Try
Mandrake, it is easy to use and has wizards just like windows to get you
going. By demiliterized I mean that it is isolated from your local
network, so that if it is hacked, it can't be used as a back door into your
other computers. I hacked into a buddies ftp server once and got all the
way into his wife's laptop running a VNC server on windows -- just for fun
