hello. I've just recently installed FreeBSD and I'm having fun with it. the best place to start is FreeBSD.org. they have endless amounts of information there. they even have a very detailed handbook that explains everything from installation to administration.

you can download the .iso's from there as well.

Have fun!!

Then you can burn the image with a cdwrite util (in nero: file->burn image).

Also its 'download' not 'down load'
