That question is hard to answer for someone else. Your best bet is to figure out what you want to do with your FreeBSD machine and then you'll know what to download. A must for you is reading a handbook (www.freebsd.org) that talks about what FreeBSD can do and some typical applications. Also, there is a file in 2.2.5-RELEASE called INSTALL.TXT that you'll eventually be interested in.
