As they would have been the same, I do not have to repeat them here.

I have a couple blog posts related to running FreeBSD on the R620.
You may want to read through them.

As far as I am aware, the mfi driver needed to support the H710 RAID
controller is only in stable/8 and stable/9 right now.  I believe it
should be in 9.1-RELEASE, but I could be wrong.  If/when 8.4-RELEASE
is dropped, it should be in there too.

The next question is how well does it optimize for it.
I don't know the answer to that.

That is the normal behavior with passwords.
That is a security feature to make it less likely that someone
will be able to pick up or guess your password from the screen.

The entire handbook for FreeBSD is online at the www.freebsd.org weg site.
The web site also has FAQs and links to many other sites with such 
things as tutorials and people's personal experiences and solutions.
In addition, if you use Google to search for any FreeBSD topic you will 
find links to many handbook items, FAQs, questions postings tutorials 
and online publication articles on almost every subject and question 
you can think of, including what makes FreeBSD is so wonderful.

For example, try thinking of a topic such as password or root password 
and Google it +FreeBSD and you should find interesting things.
   eg Google password+freebsdor configure+freebsd or whatever

You should start with the Handbook and the rest of the online
documentation:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html

If you haven't found these already, then do yourself a favor and,
at the very least, skim through the contents of these help
documents.  Then, you will know what is documented, where it is
documented, and how to find more.

or try desktopbsd. www.desktopbsd.net
pcbsd and desktopbsd both "very" easy. Freebsd is just "easy", demo-wise that

You can get a printed manual both user and admin volumes from 
www.freebsdmall.com.
Also No Starch Press publishes a book titled 'Absolute BSD' by Michael 
Lewis.
It is available through the O'Reilly publications site, or from stores 
like Barnes and
Noble. There is also a book called FreeBSD Unleashed, but it may be out 
of date
as it seems only to cover versions up to 4x. None of these cover 
changes in v6,
specifically xfree86 has been replaced by x.org. This might throw you 
off, it did me
but I learned that there doesn't seem to be a significant difference. 
The only difference

I found was the X windows configuration script name, xorgconfig.
Hope this helps;
JK

PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD, but is easier to install.  Maybe demo that.

Check out the documentation on freebsd.org. You want to specifically
pay lots of attention to the handbook.

The password part is suppose to work that way. It does not show what
is being typed nor does it show how many characters are present. This
feature makes it in possible to guess the number of characters by
watching the screen.

Do please spend a little time familiarizing yourself with the self-help
information available at http://www.freebsd.org.  In this case, there's
a "Handbook" link on the home page from which you can find the answer to
your question in the first paragraph.

I much prefer to view keep the Handbook and FAQ in the buffers of a good
editor like Xemacs where you have a whole doc in one page where it can
be easily searched even with "regular expressions" (eg, wildcards).

/usr/share/doc/handbook/book.txt
/usr/share/doc/faq/book.txt

I probably should suck them into the same buffer, but I haven't yet.

Good luck exploring and learning about FreeBSD.  www.google.com and
especially groups.google.com (*freebsd* groups) are your friends.

I don't know about PDF (personally, I dislike that format, or rather
all PDF readers I've encountered), but HTML version will be located
at /usr/share/doc/handbook/ once you have FreeBSD installed.
