It can be used by the beginner provided they are willing to read the
instructions and type commands. Many people consider that "too hard".
Mousey-clicky-pointy-desktopy prepackaged versions of FreeBSD are also

and the desktop GUI setup integrated.

That processor is fine. I'd suggest at least 64M of RAM and 4G of disk
space, which it probably already has.
