FreeBSD – the unknown Giant

FreeBSD is a free, open-source and UNIX-like operating system. Though relatively unknown, it’s a performing and powerful work-horse, capable of coping with massive work-loads whilest remaining fast, ultra-stable and rock-solid. Blogging about FreeBSD and operating systems based on this versatile, safe and secure OS, I want to generate more interest in FreeBSD and its dependants. If you need a reliable, rock-solid and performing system for either your desktop or servers, consider FreeBSD!

    Thanks for the news! I downloaded the dvd1 .gz file, and it appears not to be a gzipped iso (as advertised), but rather the files from which the iso may be created (by using mkisofs).

    I don’t know if this is intentional, or if someone was in too big a rush to upload the file, and just went ahead and gzipped the files themselves, instead of first creating an iso.

    It’s official. I got the announcement just a couple of hours ago.
