i want to switch from windows to freebsd, please help me.

[bob philituoy]

i have used nothing but window OS's in my 16 year lifespan and am tired of it. right now i have a old sony vaio pcv-90 with win95 and a computer i built (1.8ghz P4 with windows xp pro soon to be dual booted with linux suse 8.1 pro) and wanted to find a version of unix i could try. i bought suse but am having alot of trouble installing it and have not been able to run it. one of my friends has freebsd 4.4 and says that he likes it more than anything else out there so he has gotten me interested in it now. What do you version do you recomend for me to get since i am a major noob and do you recomend any reading materials? I've been to http://store.yahoo.com/bsdmall/ and looked around, do you recomend them any?
Any help will be very appreciated.
 
Thank You
