First lesson: Set your mailer to wrap lines at ~70 characters ;)
Three good starting points for you are
http://www.uk.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html
http://www.uk.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html
http://www.uk.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html
If you are really keen (and you sound it - "my new M$ free computer") then
Grag Lehey's book The Complete FreeBSD is exactly what the title says. You
can get it in the UK from
https://ssl.dgc.co.uk/dgc-nms/web_store.cgi?page=freebsd.html&category=yes&cart_id=4449726.30851
Note that the "4.0" in the description there, "The Complete FreeBSD 4.0
Book and CDs" refers to the software version on the CDs, not the edition of
the book (the book the sell is the 3rd edition).
This mailing list and freebsd-questions and freebsd-newbies
(http://www.uk.freebsd.org/support.html#mailing-list) are an excellent
source of help and information.
Welcome aboard!
