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 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2: "The 7.0-BETA2 builds have completed and are on many of the FreeBSD mirror sites. If you want to update an existing machine using cvsup, use RELENG_7 as the branch tag. Instructions on using FreeBSD Update to perform a binary upgrade from FreeBSD 6.x to 7.0-BETA2 will be provided via the freebsd-stable list when available." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: 7.0-BETA2-i386-disc1.iso (638MB, MD5), 7.0-BETA2-amd64-disc1.iso (542MB, MD5). On a related note, the first beta build of FreeBSD 6.3 has also been released: "The 6.3-BETA1 builds got delayed a bit by a last minute MFC (Merged From -Current) causing some undesired ABI breakage. That has been fixed and the 6.3-BETA1 builds for amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 have completed." |
