Is FreeBSD as easy to use for newbies as GNU/Linux? Is it trying to be?
Since when Linux is "easy"? Linux got 25 different package management systems, 50+ different kernel trees- (anyone got "vanilla" kernel in production environment?), 500+ distributions- not compatible with each other, unbelievable bloated runlevels, inconsistent documentation.
After you experience working on FreeBSD for some time you'll realise that "everything makes sense" (TM) and documentation/handbook is enough for noobs/starters.
