Mining is the act of using computational processing power to verify transactions on the Feathercoin network. As a reward for this effort a miner is given Feathercoins. Mining can be done on either computer processors (CPUs) or graphics cards (GPUs), however at this time GPU mining is the most efficient and best publicly available option. Check out the forums for the latest information.

Pools
The Feathercoin community really tries to push P2Pool as a best option for mining. P2Pool provides a good combination of pooled mining with the decentralization of solo mining.
