Text Editors: Yes LOTS! There are religious wars over them too. :) Two good ones are vim (http://www.vim.org) and emacs. GUI/IDEs: Yes Two good ones Anjuta (http://anjuta.sourceforge.net) or KDevelop (http://www.kdevelop.org) Compiler: Yes, not just C and C++ gcc (http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html) > will it work on on a BrillianX motherboard? Not sure on this one. If it's a normal PC motherboard with standard chipsets (via, intel), I don't see why not. > what kind of modem will i need. WinModems might be supported, but hardware modems (usually external ones) are guaranteed to work. A good place to start is the freebsd handbook, when you are learning freebsd: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook (also available in /usr/share/doc after installation) And I found Dru Lavigne's tutorials most helpful. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 -- "Optimized, readable, on time; Pick any two."
