| FreeBSD是一份UNIX操作系统，它面向i386、IA-64、PC-98、Alpha/AXP及UltraSPARC平台。它基于加州伯克利大学
的4.4 BSD-Lite发布，并带有一些4.4 BSD-Lite2增强。它还非直接地基于William
Jolitz的port，这源于加州伯克利大学i386化的“Net/2”也即“386BSD”，尽管386BSD中只有非常少的代码遗留下来。
FreeBSD被遍布全世界的公司、Internet服务提供商、研究人员、计算机专家、学生，以及家庭用户用于他们的工作、教学和娱乐之中。 Ken Smith has announced the availability of the second release candidate for FreeBSD 8.0: "The second of the release candidates for the FreeBSD 8.0 release cycle is now available. At this point we feel most of what has been discovered during public testing that is feasible to fix as part of the release process has been addressed. So the current plan is to have 8.0-RC3 in about two weeks. ISO images for all supported architectures are available on the FTP sites, and a 'memory stick' image is available for amd64/i386 architectures. For amd64/i386 architectures the CD-ROM and memory stick images include the documentation packages but no other packages. The DVD image includes the packages that will probably be available on the official release media." Here is the complete release announcement. Download: 8.0-RC2-i386-dvd1.iso.gz (1,784MB, SHA256), 8.0-RC2-amd64-dvd1.iso.gz (1,848MB, MD5). |
