Ok, all I want is some info.

I've been a DOS user all my life and now that I have a direct connection,
I want to explore other OS.  So, if anyone can direct me to a FAQ, mail me
some info, or give me a URL to a WWW site, I would greatly appreciate it.
I just got a freeBSD CD and want to know the difference between BSD and 
Linux.  My university system is so slow, so I thought using my own system
will speed things up.  

Thanks,
