Hi Crysty,
there is a free available over the internet demo Fortigate machine:
http://yurisk.info/2010/02/03/fortigate-firewall-demo-free-access-also-fortimanager-and-fortianalyzer/
But there you are not full admin so it is good for getting to know GUI management only .
There is also ESXi image of the FortiOS deemed to be used as virtual appliance. While it is not easy but possible to find
such image , it requires special license you can get only from Fortinet to make it run. So you need to work for some partner of the Fortinet to get such.

Thank you, thank you! Your post reminded me of a setting I had put on my wan1 interface which was causing serious link speed degradation. Once I set my wan1 interface back to auto everything was back in tip-top shape. You have no idea how long I banged my head against the wall on this one.
