<h2><font color="#990000">What is FreeBSD?</font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the
|
|
Intel compatible (x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures.
|
|
It is developed and maintained by <a
|
|
href="&base;/handbook/staff.html">a large team of
|
|
individuals</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><font color="#990000">Cutting edge features</font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and
|
|
compatibility <a href="&base;/features.html">features</a> today
|
|
which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of
|
|
the best commercial ones.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><font color="#990000">Powerful Internet solutions</font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD makes an ideal <a href="&base;/internet.html">Internet
|
|
or Intranet</a> server. It provides robust network services,
|
|
even under the heaviest of loads, and uses memory efficiently to
|
|
maintain good response times for hundreds, or even thousands, of
|
|
simultaneous user processes. Visit our <a
|
|
href="gallery/gallery.html">gallery</a> for examples of
|
|
FreeBSD powered applications and services.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><font color="#990000">Run a huge variety of
|
|
applications</font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 <a
|
|
href="&base;/applications.html">applications</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><font color="#990000">Easy to install</font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including
|
|
CD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if
|
|
you have a network connection, you can install it
|
|
<i>directly</i> over anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a pair
|
|
of blank, 1.44MB floppies and <a
|
|
href="&base;/handbook/install.html">these directions</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><font color="#990000">FreeBSD is <i>free</i></font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<a href="copyright/daemon.html"><img src="gifs/dae_up3.gif" alt=""
|
|
height="81" width="72" align="right" border="0"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 try it
|
|
out, <a href="&base;/availability.html">more information is
|
|
available</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><font color="#990000">Contributing to FreeBSD</font></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 <a
|
|
href="http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/contrib.html">Contributing
|
|
to FreeBSD</a> section in the FreeBSD Handbook.</p>
