Note: If you are in doubt of which platform / architecture to get, you probably need i386.
If you plan on getting FreeBSD via FTP, please check the
listing of mirror
sites in the handbook to see if there is a site
closer to you. Alternatively, you may want to download &os; using
the BitTorrent protocol. The .torrent
files can be
downloaded from the &os; BitTorrent Tracker.
Our developers and release engineers are working on the the next release of FreeBSD; if you wish to help with testing, please download the latest build. Please note that these images are, by their very nature, intended for testing and should not be used in production environments.
