I noticed that some people running it on a laptop with amd64 + 4 gig ram seem comfortable. Depending on your needs you can use a ssd for L2ARC which would act as a memory cache. As killasmurf mentioned, more ram the better.
I have used Solaris on my desktop with 2 giga ram for about 1-2 months.
Well. Less than 2 giga it sounds not very good IMO.
4 giga is ideal and more is better

I don't know about filesystem.
But for sure not zfs.
But i could recommend dsl (Damn Small Linux) or puppy linux.
Minimum requirements and dsl is about 50mb 0S

also you can go lower but will need to tweak a bit. Need to find one of those embedded bsd guys to find out the 'real' lowest it can go. but 256m will be more than enough even for a slimmed down X desktop. I wouldn't expect kde4 would be ideal for such a machine but fluxbox or even enlightenment16 should be fine.
256 Mb of ram would be fine for a small FBSD server. I used to run my mail server plus 2 jails for DNS on a Celeron with 256 Mb of ram 5 years ago. No problems what so ever. Just some kernel tweaking.
It really depends on what you need the machine for. If we are talking about desktop then you can forget about it but for an entry level server 256 Mb is ok, I think.
Because i didn't understood but i really want to help.
What you try to download?
You want to do it via unetbootin? (when i was using it there were no such option but i don't know now).
Well. You download the iso from internet with a browser.
On unetbootin there are 3 options.
Distrubition, iso & custom.
You will choose option iso.
You will choose the iso that you have already download.
On section type select your usb flash and press ok.
Drink a coffee and wait unetbootin to finish his job
let me explain u:
in fact got now free on my machine: i can boot, i can partitioning, i can install via unetbootin BUT when i'm on that job the part of
can't get the FTP server...i'd like to do it from DOS partition or the most easy perhaps nfs if u explain me!
There i see option 9: Install from USB.
When you burned Freebsd as iso on usb stick then usb behave as cd (from one view)
If you had cd/dvd you were choose option 1: Install from FreeBSD cd/dvd
Now you have not optical drive. You have usb. So all the installation files are into usb.
You don't need to download them from FTP.
But if you want, you can do it. If i am not wrong you should first setup your network (from installation process) and installation will ask you if you want to brink up the interface.
This guide i hope will help you to setup nic through installation: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/install-post.html
After that return to FTP section of installation and i guess will not refuse to download them
ok...i'm going to install via ftp: do i need to leave in blank IPv4 Gateway? why and why not? i think my mistake is in here(this configuration Network Configuration for ed0)
For IPv4 Gateway i think 192.168.1.1 (default router's ip) should be make it work.
When a packet leaves from your computer, gateway shows the way the packet should follow to reach the next "station" witch is your router.
Router from his side has also a gateway. This gateway is your ISP's ip. And finally the packet go to your provider.
Well is not a very good explanation but i hope is right (At least that i understood when i tried to setup pfsense)
also you can go lower but will need to tweak a bit. Need to find one of those embedded bsd guys to find out the 'real' lowest it can go. but 256m will be more than enough even for a slimmed down X desktop.
