In addition to the mainstream development path of FreeBSD, a number
of developer groups are working on the cutting edge to expand
FreeBSD's range of applications in new directions. Follow the links
below to learn more about these exciting projects.

FreeBSD Security How-To
- FreeBSD vs. Linux: a bunch of comparisons between FreeBSD
and Linux, which is another publically-distributed free UNIX-like
OS for PC's.

RELEASE/SNAP finder for FreeBSD FTP servers.
A resource that would allow anyone to find a FTP server that contains
particular releases and SNAP of FreeBSD. The database is updated daily
at 3am Melbourne time (10 hours ahead of GMT).-
The FreeBSD Diary
This page is about my experiences with FreeBSD. How I installed it,
where I got the idea behind it, and how hard/easy it was to install.
Hopefully, you'll find it to be amusing, interesting, or at the least,
pathetic. My aim is to document what I've done and at the same time
allow others to follow the progress and possibly learn from my
endeavours. (DVL Software, paul@kennett.co.nz).

The FreeBSD User Guide
This is a little document on how to start with the FreeBSD Operating
System (OS), a Unix variant. It's made for people who never used a
Unix OS. FreeBSD is a little hard to learn, so don't expect to be
happy the first time you meet him alone. The main reason is that it's
Command Line Interface (CLI), like MS-DOS.

- Arla
is a free AFS client implementation. The main goal is to
make a fully functional client with all capabilities of normal AFS.
Other planned and implemented things are all the normal management
tools and a server.
- DEVFS
- Mode locking
- Make the namei interface reflexive
- NFS client and server locking
- soft update code
- TCFS
is a Transparent Cryptographic File System that is a suitable
solution to the problem of privacy for distributed file system. By a
deeper integration between the encryption service and the file system,
it results in a complete trasparency of use to the user
applications. Files are stored in encrypted form and are decrypted
before they are read. The encryption/decryption process takes place on
the client machine and thus the encryption/decryption key never
travels on the network.
- Tertiary Disk is a
storage system architecture to create large disk storage systems
that avoid the disadvantages of custom built disk arrays. The
name comes from twin goals: to have the cost per megabyte and
capacity of tape libraries and the performance of magnetic
disks. We use commodity, off the shelf components to develop a
scalable, low cost, terabyte capacity disk system. Our target is
to build a complete storage system with about 30-50% extra to
the cost of the raw disk. Tertiary Disk uses PCs connected by a
switched network to host a large number of disks. Our prototype
consists of 20 200MHz PC PCs, which host 370 8GB disks. The PCs
are connected through a 100Mbps Ethernet switch.
