Apart from the point that FreeBSD is not Linux in any shape or form, interesting site none-the-less. Recommend you install FreeBSD 4.8, which is the latest release on the 4-STABLE branch. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html for general installation instructions. To find a near-by mirror site with the ISO images you need look at http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/FBSDsites.php3 In order to install, you need no more than the 4.8-RELEASE-i386-mini.iso image, but that is the bare minimum. The disk1 image contains the same stuff as the mini iso with the addition of a bunch of extra stuff like documentation, some essential extra packages and XFree86. The disk2 image contains a live filesystem image and a copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository. On the other hand, if you have reasonably fast network access, you can download a couple of floppy images from here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.8-RELEASE/floppies/ and install the whole system over the network.
