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!

Yandex uses FreeBSD

November 24, 2009 by Gerard   Leave a comment

Russia’s Yandex search engine (Google’s competitor in Russia) uses two operating systems, one of which is FreeBSD.

Any surprise? No, FreeBSD stays rock solid under heavy workloads. Yandex is now looking for managers to work with one of the largest and most complex IT systems in Russia.
