"*This is the first time i come in contact with any Linux OS and FreeBsd
*This is also the first time i install any Linux Os and FreeBsd"
Ouch! you walked in unprepared many newbies do the same
thing they use Windows & get the shock of there life when they
enter the world of BSD and Linux cold turkey they don't know how to use
the VI editor or even switch shells from csh to kshI'd suggest
starting with something very light like 'Linux for Dummies' and take it
very slow learn all the basic stuff like the important commands
how to move around the operating system, how the file structure
works the same for FreeBSD.
FreeBSD First Steps
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ers/index.html
BSD Explained
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...bsd/index.html
How to get best results from the FreeBSD-questions mailing list
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ons/index.html
This is important to read if you don't want to look silly or get flamed on
a mailing list.
Here are books I'd suggest to ease the pain:
