What is FreeBSD?

- -

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 - compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), amd64 - compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon 64, and EM64T), - Alpha/AXP, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC® - architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of - &unix; developed at the - University of California, Berkeley. It is developed - and maintained by a - large team of individuals. Additional platforms are - in various stages of development.

- -

Cutting edge features

- -

FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security - and compatibility - features - today which are still missing in other operating systems, - even some of the best commercial ones.

- -

Powerful Internet solutions

- -

FreeBSD makes an ideal - Internet or Intranet - server. It provides robust network services under the heaviest - loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response - times for thousands of simultaneous user processes.

- -

Run a huge number of - applications

- -

The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost, - high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical - alternative to commercial &unix; - workstations. It is well-suited - for a great number of both desktop and server - applications.

- -

Easy to install

- -

FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media - including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, - an MS-DOS® partition, or if you have a network - connection, you can install it directly over - anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a couple of - formatted 1.44MB floppies and these - directions.

- -

FreeBSD is free

- - The BSD Daemon - -

While you might expect an operating system with these - features to sell for a high price, FreeBSD is available - free of charge - and comes with full source code. If you would like to - purchase or download a copy to try out, - more - information is available.

- -

Contributing to FreeBSD

- -

It is easy to contribute to FreeBSD. All you need to do - is find a part of FreeBSD which you think could be - improved and make those changes (carefully and cleanly) - and submit that back to the Project by means of send-pr - or a committer, if you know one. This could be anything - from documentation to artwork to source code. See the - Contributing - to FreeBSD article for more information.

- -

Even if you are not a programmer, there are other - ways to contribute to FreeBSD. The FreeBSD - Foundation is a non-profit organization for which - direct contributions are fully tax deductible. Please - contact bod@FreeBSDFoundation.org - for more information or write to: The FreeBSD - Foundation, 7321 Brockway Dr., Boulder, CO 80303, - USA.
