<p>Detailed descriptions of past, present, and future releases. | <h2>Choosing an Architecture</h2> | ||||
Look here first to determine what the latest version of FreeBSD | |||||
is.</p> | |||||
<a name="install"></a> | <p>Modern PCs use the amd64 architecture, including those with | ||||
Intel® branded processors. Computers with more than | |||||
3 GB of memory should use amd64. If the computer is an | |||||
older, 32-bit only model, use i386. For embedded devices and | |||||
single-board computers (SBC) such as the Raspberry Pi, Beagle | |||||
Bone Black, Panda Board, and Zed Board, use the armv6 SD card | |||||
image.</p> | |||||
<h2>Install FreeBSD</h2> | <a name="choose-image"></a> | ||||
<p>There are many options for installing FreeBSD, including | <h2>Choosing an Image</h2> | ||||
installation from CD-ROM, DVD, USB stick or even directly using | |||||
anonymous FTP, HTTP, or NFS. Depending on the &os; version you want | |||||
to install, please read through the <a | |||||
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html">&os; 9.X/10.X | |||||
installation guide</a> or the <a | |||||
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html">&os; 8.X | |||||
installation guide</a> before downloading the entire FreeBSD distribution.</p> | |||||
<a name="distribution"></a> | <p>The &os; installer can be downloaded in a number of different | ||||
formats including CD (disc1), DVD (dvd1), and Network Install | |||||
(bootonly) sized <a | |||||
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html#install-cdrom">ISO</a> | |||||
Disc Images, as well as regular and mini USB memory stick | |||||
images. Later versions of &os; are also offered as prebuild | |||||
expandable Virtual Machine images, and as SD Cards for embedded | |||||
platforms.</p> | |||||
