Welcome to the club.

Of course FreeBSD supports C, that's he language it was written in.

As for clustering, I believe that just about any unix variant is capable
of it in some form or another.

Graphics functions are available, but it depends on what type you are
looking for.  In this case, the ports collection is your friend.

once you have FreeBSD installed, I recommend that you type 
	man intro
	man ports
	man hier
and also read the handbook
	less /usr/share/doc/handbook/book.txt

I suggest you spend some time reading the handbook before asking too
many questions on the mailing lists, as you will find the majority of
the answers in there.

Good luck & have fun

Cheers

Tim
