FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers,
|
|
desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has
|
|
continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its
|
|
advanced networking, security, and storage features have
|
|
made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the
|
|
busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking
|
|
and storage devices.
