| 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 9.0: "The first beta build of the 9.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available. Due to lack of support for boot floppies and issues with the new ATA_CAM infrastructure the pc98 architecture is being dropped to Tier-2 status. Note that some time between now and beta 2 we will finalize the list of shared libraries that need to have their versions bumped (only a subset of libraries have been converted to symbol-versioning) and take care of doing the bumps. So at the moment packages built for current should work. But when the bump happens you will need to recompile any applications you have installed and there will likely be a delay for suitable pre-built packages to become available on the FTP sites." The release announcement. Download: FreeBSD-9.0-BETA1-i386-disc1.iso (498MB, SHA256), FreeBSD-9.0-BETA1-amd64-disc1.iso (607MB, SHA256). |
