FreeBSDŽ is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures (Only i386 on this CD set). It is derived from BSD UNIX, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. The quality of FreeBSDŽ combined with today's low-cost, high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSDŽ a very economical alternative to commercial UNIX workstations. It is well-suited for a great number of both desktop and server applications. Included with this release is experimental support for the AMD 64-bit platform (Opteron/Athlon 64), additional/enhanced device support for USB 2.0 and Promise Serial ATA controllers, support for PAE on Pentium Pro and Xeon systems, and experimental 1:1 and M:N thread libraries. |
