If you've never used the Terminal before you're going to NEED to learn some
Unix:
This is a good newbie tutorial, its not for Mac OS X but its about the same:
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/index.html
A more detailed guide to UNIX from the same site. It's good for learning the
basic structure and how UNIX works:
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Docs/Unixhelp/index.html
FreeBSD newbie page:
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html
Forums:

Next get Fink, I highly recommend it for novices and probably pros alike.
You can get it from here: http://fink.sourceforge.net/
It lets you easily install thousands of programs and libraries and stuff
really easily. It compiles the packages and everything.
If you're lazy like me, you can get FinkCommander (or Galapagos), which is a
Mac OS X application that basically adds a GUI to Fink:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/finkcommander/
You can get KDE from Fink. I also recommend
gimp (image editor)
nedit (text editor)
openoffice (word processing, spreadsheet, etc. go to openoffice.org)
gaim (AIM client)
and many many more.
Just search yahoo/google for Unix tutorials and check out message boards and
mailing lists. I hope this helps. I was in your position about two weeks
ago.
