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!

The FreeBSD Ports counter has gone through the 20.000 mark. That’s really impressive.

FreeBSD users should be grateful to all those dedicated porters that devote their (spare) time to porting software for use on FreeBSD.

Some useful ports related links:
