Is there a LiveCD of any sort for
FreeBSD, or will I need to perform a full install of FreeBSD to see

There are two LiveCDs I know of: FreeSBIE and Frenzy.
I'm also fairly new to the command line as a
primary tool for using a computer, so will it be next-to-impossible for
me to figure FreeBSD out?
You will have to use the CLI (Command Line Interface) a lot, especially for configuring your system.
When I started using FreeBSD a little over a year ago, I only knew two commands: pwd and ls :D It took me only a week to figure out how to do basic things (including learning how to use vi(1)), from there on most things aren't that complicated.
I'm certainly up to trying things out and
learning how to do it, but would that be such a time-suck that I should
just stick to Linux? Thanks a lot for your help!
If you read the handbook carefully and give yourself some time to learn how to use your system, then you can do basic things after some days/weeks. The most timeconsuming during that stage is reading. :)
The more and longer you use it, the better you will get.
Just go ahead and do it :)
HTH,
Philipp
