The FreeBSD operating system is the unknown giant among free operating systems. Starting out from the 386BSD project, it is an extremely fastUNIX-like operating system mostly for the Intel chip and its clones. In manyways, FreeBSD has always been the operating system that GNU/Linux-basedoperating systems should have been. It runs on out-of-date Intel machines and64-bit AMD chips, and it serves terabytes of files a day on some of the largestfile servers on earth.
