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!

    Very nice stories but rather old.
    Don’t get me wrong, I love FreeBSD – I used it in the past and will use it again, when needed, but these are stories from Windows NT, OpenBSD 2.x/3.x, FreeBSD 4.x era.

    We need some fresh stuf ;)
