FreeBSD releases are classified into "Production Releases" and "Legacy Releases". The former are best suited to users looking for the latest new features; the latter are for users wishing to stay with a more conservative upgrade strategy.

Releases are further classified by the length of time they will be supported by the Security Officer into "Normal" and "Extended" releases.

Documentation files for each release are available for viewing in HTML format on the Release Documentation page.

Currently Supported Releases

Complete information about the release date, the classification type, 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.

Choosing an Architecture

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.

Choosing an Image

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. Later versions of &os; are also offered as prebuilt expandable Virtual Machine images, and as SD Cards for embedded platforms.

&os; Deployment Statistics

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.
