<p>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

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.</li>

The SysVR4 Emulation</a>

capable of running (or walking, in some cases) a wide-ish variety of
|
|
SysV executabls taken from Solaris/x86 2.5.1 and 2.6 systems. I have
|

reason to believe that it will also run SCO UnixWare and SCO

page is the start of a project which will attempt to

FreeBSD development community currently has only the vaguest

idea as to how large our user base is, and this makes it all

the more difficult to persuade hardware and software vendors

to take it seriously. </li>

lend locally, they can put their email address on the list. Hardware

|
and literature can also be given away. We encourage people to donate

CDs to local libraries and put them on the list as well. </li>
