Hi guys. I'm planning a switch from Linux to FreeBSD. Problem is, I'm just starting to use linux. I'm using aptosid (if you guys know it) and have learned a few shell commands, but I'm not very knowledgeable on this at all, as I was mainly a GUIer. I am willing to learn, though.
First question is: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/
Which ISO from the above link am I supposed to get? I've only got a blank CD-RW. My processor's a Pentium D.
I'll probably be asking more questions as I go on, but I expect that the handbook would guide me through the installation process. I am planning to make my PC FreeBSD only. Is the installation process in shell mode, and if so, is there any way to view the handbook during the process?
