If you are looking for a easy way to install it, it installs easily over the net. You can also downlaod the ISO needed to install it. I would suggest checking out http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html . Those should provide a good place to begin.
