| 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 first beta release of FreeBSD 8.1: "The first of the test builds for the FreeBSD 8.1 release cycle is now available for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, pc98, and sparc64 architectures. Files suitable for creating installation media or doing FTP based installs through the network should be on most of the FreeBSD mirror sites by now. The ISO images for this build do not include packages other than the docs. For amd64 and i386 'memstick' images are also available that can be copied to a USB 'memory stick' (also called 'thumb drive') and used for installs on machines that support booting from that type of media. If you are updating an already running machine the CVS branch tag is RELENG_8, or if you prefer SVN use 'stable/8'." Read the full release announcement for further details and upgrade instructions.
