Experience the possibilities with FreeBSD

FreeBSD can handle nearly any task you would expect of a UNIX workstation, as well as many you might not expect:


FreeBSD is a true open system with full source code.

There is no doubt that so-called open systems are the requirement for today's computing applications. But no commercial vendor-supplied solution is more open than one which includes full source code to the entire operating system, including the kernel and all of the system daemons, programs, and utilities. You can modify any part of FreeBSD to suit your personal, organizational, or corporate needs.

With its generous licensing policy, + href="&base;/copyright/freebsd-license.html">licensing policy, you can use FreeBSD as the basis for any number of free or commercial applications.


FreeBSD runs thousands of applications.

There is also a growing number of commercial applications + href="&base;/commercial/commercial.html">commercial applications written for FreeBSD.

Here are some examples of the environments in which FreeBSD is used:


FreeBSD is an operating system that will grow with your needs.

Though FreeBSD is free software, it is also user supported software. Any questions you have can be posted to hundreds of FreeBSD developers and users simply by e-mailing the freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG mailing list.

FreeBSD also has a worldwide group of programmers and writers who fix bugs, add new features and document the system. Support for new devices or special features is an almost constant development process, and the team keeps a special eye out for problems which affect system stability. FreeBSD users are quite proud of not only how fast but how reliable their systems are.

What experts have to say . . .

FreeBSD was designed for the Internet

FreeBSD includes what many consider the reference implementation for TCP/IP software, the 4.4 BSD TCP/IP protocol stack, thereby making it ideal for network applications and the Internet.


FreeBSD supports standard TCP/IP protocols.

Like most UNIX systems, the FreeBSD operating system enables you to

FreeBSD lets you to turn a PC into a World Wide Web server or Usenet news relay with included software. Using the included SAMBA software you can even share filesystems or printers with your Win95 and NT machines and, with the supplied PCNFS authentication daemon, you can support machines running PC/NFS. FreeBSD also supports Appletalk and Novell client/server networking (using an optional commercial package), making it a true "Intranet" networking solution.

FreeBSD also handles TCP extensions like the RFC-1323 high performance extension and RFC-1644 extension for transactions, plus SLIP and dial-on-demand PPP. It is an operating system suitable for a home-based net surfer as well as a corporate systems administrator.


FreeBSD's networking is stable and fast.

If you need an Internet server platform that is reliable and offers the best performance under heavy load, then consider FreeBSD. Here are just a few of the companies that make use of FreeBSD every day:

FreeBSD makes an ideal platform for these and other Internet services:

-

The FreeBSD ports collection +

The FreeBSD ports collection contains ready-to-run software that makes it easy to set up your own Internet server.


High performance and security.

The FreeBSD developers are as concerned about security as they are about performance. FreeBSD includes kernel support for IP firewalling, as well other services, such as IP proxy gateways. If you put your corporate servers on the Internet, any 386 PC (or better) running FreeBSD can act as a network firewall to protect them from outside attack.

Encryption software, secure shells, Kerberos, end-to-end encryption and secure RPC facilities are also available (subject to export restrictions).

Furthermore, the FreeBSD team is proactive in detecting and disseminating security information and bug reports with a security officer and ties to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).

What experts have to say . . .

``FreeBSD ... provides what is probably the most robust and capable TCP/IP stack in existence ...''

From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@freebsd.org>
Subject:FreeBSD 3.1 is now released!

We are pleased, as always, to announce the availability of 3.1-RELEASE, the much anticipated follow-on release to FreeBSD 3.0 (released November, 1998). Many hundreds of bug fixes and general enhancements have been made to the system so please see the release notes for more information.

FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE is available on ftp.freebsd.org and -various FTP mirror sites +various FTP mirror sites throughout the world. It can also be ordered on CD from Walnut Creek CDROM, from where it will be shipping shortly as a 4 CD set containing a lot of extra stuff of interest to programmers and general users alike.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All of the profits from the sales of this CD set go to support the FreeBSD Project!

Like many businesses in the field of high-tech, Walnut Creek CDROM has realized that in order to make any product for an emerging market grow, you have to make a significant investment in such growth, even if it means abandoning short-term profits. Walnut Creek CDROM is the only CDROM vendor who currently does anything like this and it's certainly my hope that you will help support the project by buying (or getting someone else to buy :) one of their CDs. Thanks!

What are snapshots?

As part of an ongoing effort to improve the overall release process before a release actually slips out the door with problems that make folks mad, we are now periodically producing interim test releases called snapshots. These snapshots will be very similar to full releases, except that they will be somewhat more minimal. In particular, before getting and installing a snapshot release, be aware of following:

Your feedback on these snapshots is, of course, greatly welcome. They are not just for our benefit - those who are coming to rely on FreeBSD for mission critical applications should welcome a chance to get at more updated bits in a structured fashion. You can also use these snapshots as tangible evidence that your feedback is getting incorporated and that you (hopefully) will not have any unpleasant surprises in the next release. On the other hand, if you do send us hate mail next release and it turns out that you never even tried the snapshots, well, it cuts both ways!

Where to find snapshots

Snapshots of FreeBSD-current +

Snapshots of FreeBSD-current are available via anonymous FTP from ftp://current.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/. The snapshot releases are in directories named in the format REL-YYMMDD-SNAP where `REL' is the release number, `YY' is the year, `MM' is the month, and `DD' is the day the snapshot was released. Each snapshot directory contains a `README' file which outlines the changes for the particular snapshot.

Release Information

Detailed descriptions of past, present, and future releases. Look here first to determine what the latest version of FreeBSD is.

Installing FreeBSD

There are many options for installing FreeBSD, including installation from CDROM, floppy disk, an MS-DOS partition, magnetic tape, anonymous ftp, and NFS. Please read through the installation guide before downloading the entire FreeBSD distribution. If you are installing on a machine connected to the Internet, you may only need to download a single installation disk image!

Distribution Sites

The official sources for FreeBSD are:

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. For more information about past, present and future releases in general, please visit the release information page.

If you're interested in a purely experimental snapshot release of FreeBSD-current (AKA 5.0-current), aimed at developers and bleeding-edge testers only, then please see the daily snapshot server FTP site.

Applications and Utility Software

The Packages collection

The FreeBSD packages collection is a diverse collection of utility and application software that has been ported to FreeBSD. The packages are pre-compiled binaries ready to drop into your system and run.

The Ports collection

The Ports collection is like the packages collection, but the necessary patches and makefiles to compile the source code are provided instead of compiled binaries. For software with important configuration that must be done at compile time, the "port" version may be more useful than the "package" version.

For information about how you can contribute your favorite piece of software to the port collection, have a look at Porting applications and Contributing to FreeBSD in the FreeBSD handbook.

Commercial software

Beginning with FreeBSD Release 2.0.5, FreeBSD includes demo versions of some commercial as well as some shareware products. In addition to the demos available in the FreeBSD distribution, a number of other commercial vendors offer software products specifically for FreeBSD.
