Hello,

I'm fairly new to the *nix world but would like to try my hand at 
setting up a stand alone unix box with KDE desktop support. I would 
also like to take a stab at programming and have been searching for 
languages to learn. I was hoping to find something extremely powerful 
but easy to learn and have ran into Walter Bright's D Programming 
Language (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/) and its GCC port 
(http://home.earthlink.net/~dvdfrdmn/d/). Seems to be able to do the 
trick.

What does all this have to do with you? Well, I was hoping someone 
would point me in the right direction of how to setup DFBSD so that I 
can connect to the internet, and download the KDE desktop and how to 
the GCC version of D. Additionally, I was hoping for some guidance of 
the best way to set up my box I can experience the power of unix with 
a GUI safety net just in case I loose my way.

Thanks for your understanding and support.
Andrew
