BSD is not Linux.
Yes. By "user interface", do you mean Graphical User Interface (GUI)? - option 1 : type startx or xinit if, and only if, you already installed and configured an X window system server like Xorg and a desktop environment like KDE or GNOME (or just a window manager like Fluxbox). - option 2 : install all the above and configure a display manager like XDM, GDM, ... to log you in and execute your window manager automatically. Check your hardware compatibility with FreeBSD on the official site: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/hardware.html The FreeBSD handbook is the best source of information: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/do...ooks/handbook/ You can also get many other books and articles: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/

What you get loaded, depends on what you asked for; usually it's login prompt of some sort. See Beasties post. Quote:

Based on your self description, I assume you're able to use cmd.exe without trouble; unix shells are easier to work with, but have different quoting / globing rules. (Not to mention a nicer user experience). If you're not familiar with common UNIX commands, you should check out Wikipedia and the systems manual pages. (there are also a few books around; might also want to check the reviews here) Few things in FreeBSD technically need to be done from a command prompt - but most common documentation provides instruction centered around the command line interface because it is easy to port between different UNIX systems, or documentation centered around their specific products (e.g. gnome / kde control panels).
