* Gnome on FreeBSD: Download the gnome package either during the installation or separately. As a root user add the line 'gnome_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf, then reboot your machine. When you'll boot up you will see gnome desktop environment.

*I installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my laptop in a virtual machine that a run on Virtual Box. In the beginning I missed a lot the system-config-* commands I was used to have on Fedora, but time goes on and I found another ways to set up a nic, check the routing table "netstat -r".
*The biggest difference I found was that FreeBSD has all the services setted by default as "locked", then if you need to run something, you have to go there and enable it by yourself.
*Free BSD is not for beginners, once it ask you for everything it need. The opposite of Fedora or Ubuntu, that try to make everything for the user, without asking lot of questions.
