| 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 that the first beta release of FreeBSD 7.3, a new version of the project's legacy branch, is now available for testing: "FreeBSD 7.3-BETA1, the first test build of the 7.3-RELEASE cycle, is now available for amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 architectures. For now we plan on BETA1 being followed by two release candidates, then the release itself. If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or on the freebsd-stable mailing list. For this BETA build no packages were included on any of the ISO images. An initial pass at providing packages will be done for the first release candidate. If you are using csup/cvsup methods to update an older system the branch tag to use is RELENG_7." Here is the full release announcement with details on how to upgrade existing systems.
