FreeBSD releases are classified into Production Releases and Legacy Releases. Production releases are best suited to users looking for the latest new features. Legacy releases are for users wishing to stay with a more conservative upgrade strategy.
Documentation files for each release are available for viewing in HTML format on the Release Documentation page.
Complete information about the release date and the estimated End-Of-Life (EOL) for currently supported releases can be found on the Supported Releases section of the FreeBSD Security Information page.

Release Engineering
This document details the approach used by the FreeBSD release
engineering team to make production-quality releases of the
FreeBSD Operating System. It describes the tools available
for those interested in producing customized FreeBSD releases
for corporate rollouts or commercial
productization.
The primary release engineering team is responsible for approving MFC requests during code freezes, setting release schedules, and all of the other responsibilities laid out in our charter.
Primary RE Team (re@FreeBSD.org) : &a.re.members; form the primary release engineering decision-making group.
The builders release engineering team is responsible for building and packaging FreeBSD releases on the various supported platforms.
Builders REs (re-builders@FreeBSD.org) : &a.re-builders;
The third party packages in the Ports Collection are managed by the portmgr@ team. Among many other responsibilities, the port managers keep the ports cluster running smoothly to produce binary packages.
Package Builders (&contact.portmgr;) : &a.portmgr.members;
The &os; Project does not maintain a complete archive of old release ISO images, but many of them are available at ftp://ftp-archive.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/.
Older releases that are no longer present on any FTP mirror might still be available from CD-ROM vendors.

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 which supports ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors.
All other users should reference the complete list of supported &os; platforms.
The &os; installer can be downloaded in a number of different formats including CD (disc1), DVD (dvd1), and Network Install (bootonly) sized ISO Disc Images, as well as regular and mini USB memory stick images. Recent versions of &os; are also offered as prebuilt expandable Virtual Machine images, and as SD Card images for embedded platforms.
While &os; does not gather deployment statistics, having statistical information available is essential. Please consider installing the sysutils/bsdstats package, which collects hardware and software statistics, helping developers understand how to best focus their efforts. The information collected is available at the bsdstats.org website.

If you plan on getting &os; via HTTP or FTP, please check the listing of mirror sites in the Handbook to see if there is a site closer to you.
There are many options for installing &os;, including installation from CD-ROM, DVD, USB Memory Stick or even directly using anonymous FTP, HTTP, or NFS. Please read through the &os; installation guide before downloading the entire &os; distribution.
&os; can be acquired on CD-ROM or DVD from FreeBSD Mall, or one of the other CD-ROM and DVD Publishers.
For downloading past releases, please visit the FTP archive.
&os; is widely used as a building block for other commercial and open-source operating systems. The projects below are widely used and of particular interest to &os; users.
FreeNAS is an open source storage platform based on &os; and supports sharing across Windows, Apple, and UNIX-like systems.
TrueOS (formerly PC-BSD) is a &os; derivative with a graphical installer. The desktop option installs The Lumina Desktop Environment, a fully BSD Licensed desktop, with impressive desktop tools aimed at ease of use for the casual computer user.
pfSense is a &os; based customized distribution tailored for use as a firewall and router.
The &os; Ports Collection is a diverse collection of utility and application software that has been ported to &os;.
See Installing Applications: Packages and Ports in the Handbook.
For information about how you can contribute your favorite piece of software to the Ports Collection, have a look at The Porter's Handbook and the article Contributing to &os;.
