FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
+ Berkeley, CA November 4, 2005
The FreeBSD Project announces the availability of FreeBSD 6.0, an open + source operating system derived from BSD UNIX, which offers a powerful + alternative to Linux, Solaris, and Windows. FreeBSD enables enterprise + organizations to utilize open source technologies that focus on + reliability, security, and scalability.
+ +"Yahoo! is impressed with the performance and stability of FreeBSD 6.0," + says David Filo, Yahoo! co-founder. Yahoo! is one of many enterprise + companies that rely on the world-renowned stability and performance of the + FreeBSD operating system.
+ +One of the new features in FreeBSD 6.0 is a multithreaded filesystem, + which greatly improves data access times for local disks, RAID + configurations, network filesystems, and SANs. Recent performance + benchmarks show that FreeBSD 6.0 outperforms Linux in raw data + throughput.
+ +Additionally, FreeBSD 6.0 extends support for wireless devices such as + Intel Centrino and adds support for the popular new WPA wireless security + protocol. Several improvements are incorporated into NDISulator, a + component of the operating system that allows Windows network drivers to + run natively under FreeBSD.
+ +FreeBSD now scales much more efficiently across multiple processor + systems. Support for 8 or more processors, such as the new dual core AMD + Opteron configurations, gives consumers a viable alternative against more + expensive, proprietary hardware platforms and operating systems from IBM, + HP, and Sun.
+ +The FreeBSD Project provides a free, open source operating system for + several platforms, including Intel x86 and AMD64. FreeBSD is derived from + BSD, the version of UNIX developed at UC Berkeley. The unencumbered BSD + license permits modification and redistribution of the software while + allowing an individual or company to retain intellectual property.
+ +For more information, please visit + www.FreeBSD.org.
