Grex Systems Conference

Item 5: The FreeBSD item

Entered by cross on Sat Sep 16 19:03:58 2006:

The FreeBSD operating system is derived from the 4.4BSD-Lite2 distribution
of Berkeley Unix, free of AT&T copyrighted code.  It is a complete,
self-contained system that runs on several architectures but is mostly
targeted towards the Intel i386 (and clone) and amd64 architectures.

FreeBSD is popular as a server system, hosting high volume web sites,
email systems and the like.  It is also a comfortable timesharing system.

More information on it can be found at:
