Hello, James.

questions at freebsd.org is a community mailing list,
the charter says something about "a place for newbies
to communicate...blah, blah..."

The best resource for a newbie, believe it or not,
is the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook.

Quite possibly the second best  resource is the
questions mailing list, questions at freebsd.org.
Be warned that it's rather high volume, should
you decide to subscribe to it.

There are several good books on FreeBSD,
do a Google or other search and see if you
can find books by Greg Lehey or Sue Blake,
or others.  You can even catch both of them
on the mailing lists (Sue reads this one, methinks,
while Greg will post to questions occasionally,
but generally only on specialized RAID issues...)

Welcome to FreeBSD!
