<h2>Choosing an Architecture</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Modern PCs use the amd64 architecture, including those with
|
|
Intel® branded processors. Computers with more than
|
|
3 GB of memory should use amd64. If the computer is an
|
|
older, 32-bit only model, use i386. For embedded devices and
|
|
single-board computers (SBC) such as the Raspberry Pi, Beagle
|
|
Bone Black, Panda Board, and Zed Board, use the armv6 SD card
|
|
image which supports ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="choose-image"></a>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Choosing an Image</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The &os; installer can be downloaded in a number of different
|
|
formats including CD (disc1), DVD (dvd1), and Network Install
|
|
(bootonly) sized ISO
|
|
Disc Images, as well as regular and mini USB memory stick
|
|
images. Later versions of &os; are also offered as prebuilt
|
|
expandable Virtual Machine images, and as SD Cards for embedded
|
|
platforms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="help-statistics"></a>
|
|
|
|
<h2>&os; Deployment Statistics</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>While &os; does not gather deployment statistics, having
|
|
statistical information available is essential. Please consider
|
|
installing the <a
|
|
href="http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/bsdstats/">sysutils/bsdstats</a>
|
|
package, which collects hardware and software statistics,
|
|
helping developers understand how to best focus their
|
|
efforts. The information collected is available at the
|
|
<a href="http://bsdstats.org">bsdstats.org</a> website.</p>
