What is FreeBSD?

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC® architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development.

Cutting edge features

FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones.

Powerful Internet solutions

FreeBSD makes an ideal Internet or Intranet server. It provides robust network services under the heaviest loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response times for thousands of simultaneous user processes. Visit our gallery for examples of FreeBSD powered applications and services.

Run a huge number of applications

The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost, high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical alternative to commercial workstations. It is well-suited for a great number of both desktop and server applications.

Easy to install

FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, a MS-DOS® partition, or if you have a network connection, you can install it directly over anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a pair of blank, 1.44MB floppies and these directions.

FreeBSD is free

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, more information is available.

Contributing to FreeBSD

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 Contributing to FreeBSD article for more information.

Even if you're not a programmer, there are other ways to contribute to FreeBSD. The FreeBSD Foundation is a non-profit organization for which direct contributions are fully tax deductible. Please contact bod@FreeBSDFoundation.org for more information or write to: The FreeBSD Foundation, 7321 Brockway Dr. Boulder, CO 80303. USA

Silicon Breeze has also sculpted and cast the BSD Daemon in metal and is now donating 15% of all proceeds from these statuettes back to the FreeBSD Foundation. The complete story and information on how to order a BSD Daemon is available from this page.

The Machine

The machine www.FreeBSD.org is a dual 600MHz Pentium III set up with 1024 megabytes of RAM and about 70 gigabytes of disk space. The mail processing duties for the domain are handled by hub.FreeBSD.org, a dual 600 MHz Pentium III with 1024 megabytes RAM and about 16 gigabytes disk space. Inbound mail is buffered via mx1.FreeBSD.org, an 800MHz Pentium III with 512 megabytes of ram and 30 gigabytes of disk. Outbound mail is relayed via mx2.FreeBSD.org, an 850MHz Pentium III with 512 megabytes of ram and 18 gigabytes of disk.

Naturally, these systems all run FreeBSD. The hardware and network connection have been generously provided by BSDi, Yahoo!, and other contributors to the FreeBSD project.

A complete list of all host names in the FreeBSD.org domain is available at the The FreeBSD.org Network page.

The Software

These pages are served up by the versatile and efficient Apache http server. In addition, there are a few locally crafted CGI scripts. Indexing of these pages and the mailing list archive are provided by freewais-sf, a derivative of the CNIDR freewais.

The Analog web statistics package is used to provide these statistics on web server usage.

The Pages

These Web pages have been put together by John Fieber <jfieber@FreeBSD.org> with input from the FreeBSD community and you. The Webmaster is <wosch@FreeBSD.org>. The FreeBSD pages are HTML 3.2 compliant and best viewed with your browser.
