Is FreeBSD the right OS for me?

I need to know if I should use FreeBSD or Linux for packages testing
porpoises. I need an OS that provides me this:
1.Easy Installation
I should be able to install it with the fewest amount of steps
possible
2.Desktop Environment
After installation there should be a desktop environment in place that
has at least basic visual administrative tools for common tasks like
network and user configuration.
3.Easy package add and removal
I would like to have a visual application that I can run at any time
and that allow me to choose from a list packages that I would like to
have installed and configured. Preferable it should be just a list of
packages with check boxes. If I check one of the packages the package
should be installed and configured on a "standard" configuration and I
should be able to remove it in the same way. I am particularly
interested on packages like MySQL 5.X , web server and mail server.
Please remember that I have only basic Unix/Linux knowledge. I just
want a UNIX OS where I can easily test and learn mayor packages as
MYSQL.
Thanks in advance
