This is well documented in the FreeBSD Handbook which you can see online by
going to the FreeBSD web site.

It you are going to install from CD, then you can download the ISO[s]
using anonymous  ftp  from   ftp.freebsd.org

You will need to fish around (cd) in their directories a bit to find the
ISOs, but what you want is disc1 for version 6.3.
Download it to a machine with a CD burner.   Then burn the image
as it is.  Don't try to convert it to an ISO.  It is already an ISO.

If you do not have network access, then you will need to download the first
two CD ISOs and use them.

Plug in the CD and boot it and the adventure begins.

If you must boot from floppies, then download the two floppy images and
write them to formatted floppies as per the handbook instructions.

Boot them and go from there.  You will need network access.

not to sound condescending, but just download the ISO
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/
 
the installer is very easy to walk through but if you need more help, the 
documentation is very nice.

Yes.  Any servers from those vendors will work.
Plus, there are a couple of companies that claim to produce systems
expecially for running FreeBSD servers.

  Some are:   http://www.freedomtc.com/
  http://www.ixsystems.com/
  http://www.ironsystems.com/index.asp

They don't limit themselves to FreeBSD, but they claim support for it.

First of all, always keep the list in the reply.  Don't just continue asking
one person or responder, unless you and they have some side thing to discuss
and agree to take it off list.  This is both the polite thing and has a very
big practical aspect.
The person responding to one part of the question, may not be the one who
can respond to the rest of it.  You want the whole
list to see and be able to respond.   Also, the list is archived
in a number of places and if a solution is posted, it can assist persons in
the future who can search one of the archives.

Second, I don't know anything about the applications you are
interested in running.   If they run under FreeBSD now, then they
will run on a new machine as long as it has the needed connectors
perripherals and drivers.Almost any of the machines that are
currently made can be configured with most peripherals and connectors.

Since you want a tower, then just look at the vendors listed in that great
URL Ted posted and pick an appropriately configured tower model.
Any of them will work.  Just get enough memory and disk and components to
suit your applications.

First of all, always keep the list in the reply.  Don't just
continue asking one person or responder, unless you and they have
some side thing to discuss and agree to take it off list.  This
is both the polite thing and has a very big practical aspect.
The person responding to one part of the question, may not be
the one who can respond to the rest of it.  You want the whole
list to see and be able to respond.   Also, the list is archived
in a number of places and if a solution is posted, it can assist
persons in the future who can search one of the archives.

Second, I don't know anything about the applications you are
interested in running.   If they run under FreeBSD now, then they
will run on a new machine as long as it has the needed connectors
perripherals and drivers.Almost any of the machines that are
currently made can be configured with most peripherals and connectors.

Since you want a tower, then just look at the vendors listed in that
great URL Ted posted and pick an appropriately configured tower model.
Any of them will work.  Just get enough memory and disk and 
components to suit your applications.

Hi Ryan,

  Please go here:

http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/hardware.html

  Several of the hardware vendors on this list can supply you with
ready-to-run FreeBSD workstations and servers, loaded to your
specifications.

Aloha,

I have built FreeBSD on several HP models and on 2 Dell boxes in the past.

I now use Bio Star mother boards and build them from scratch into ATA 
cases.


I have also used ASUS mother boards but  2 of them have start and boot 
after power off hardware issues. Nothing to do with FreeBSD bing the OS.

Yes.  Any servers from those vendors will work.
Plus, there are a couple of companies that claim to produce systems
expecially for running FreeBSD servers.

  Some are:   http://www.freedomtc.com/
  http://www.ixsystems.com/
  http://www.ironsystems.com/index.asp

They don't limit themselves to FreeBSD, but they claim support for it.

Hi,

Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Lenovo, Toshiba plus all the PC built 
around standard components will do.


If you would be a bit more specific about price, speed and function of 
the machine, we could help you better.


You might will have problems getting certain machines without operating 
system.
