Hi,

when I tried with Knoppix, the X system worked well, but with debian I had
some problems. I'll try installing it on this week so I'll know everything.
Thanks for your answer.

Better get 6.2. That is the latest production release. 5.5 is a legacy
release.

The docs are on the release CD and will be installed if you tell the
install program to do so.

It is a good idea to print out those parts of the FreeBSD Handbook that
deal with installation and have them handy.

What you could do is use an emulator (like VMware or the free Qemu) to
do a test install on a virtual machine. Furthermore there is the
Freesbie project which is a FreeBSD Live-CD that you can boot from to
get a feel for the system and how it deals with your hardware.

Depends. It's not really dependant on FreeBSD, but more on the X
server. You should look at the docs on the X website: www.x.org

HTH,
