    I speak from experience when I tell you that you'll have much more luck
    gettting help with problems when people get the impression that you've
    tried researching on your own first. The Handbook online is a great
    place to start. There are several good books out, also. I've used
    'FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System For your Personal Computer' by
    Annelise Anderson and 'FreeBSD Unleashed' by Urban and Tiemann. Another
    book I've just started is 'Unix Shell Programming' by Kochan and Wood.
    The introductory chapters about the nuts and bolts of Unix are very good
    and full of useful information for us newbies.

    The best place to get help is on the freebsd-questions mailing list. The
    newbies list is really not for technical help.

    Good luck with the sound card. It is quite easy actually, even I had no
    problem with it! If after following the instructions from the handbook
    you still don't get sound, then try the questions list.

    Gary
