What exactly is FreeBSD?
It's an operating system, a good one.
Can it be used by the computer beginner or do you need to be a very
knowledgable computer user?
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
available; see http://www.pcbsd.com. This is FreeBSD with an installer
and the desktop GUI setup integrated.
Is it compatible with my computer? It is a compaq presario 5000
series with an AMD Duron 750MHz processor.
That processor is fine. I'd suggest at least 64M of RAM and 4G of disk
space, which it probably already has.
