1. (FreeBSD) (3149↑, 9↓)

noun - primary one FreeBSD is one of several [Unix-like] operating systems stemming from the [BSD4.4-lite] release of the [Berkeley Software Distributions]. FreeBSD is the most popular of the [BSD]s and is focused largely on the [ix86] platform. FreeBSD currently has two main development branches; 4.9 and 5.2. The first is stable and ready for use in servers. The second is a development branch that will see better [SMP] support. The FreeBSD mascot is one that is shared by all BSDs, the [beastie]. Falsely called Chuck or [Charlie] by some this [daemon] is a smiling fellow in large sneakers that has undergone relatively few alterations over the past two decades and has been used on hats, boxer shorts, shirts, jackets, stickers and has been used on a series of pewter and copper statues. FreeBSD has spawned two prominent derived operating systems; [Darwin], the Unix-like underpinings of [Mac OS X] and [DragonflyBSD], a contiuation of the 4.x codebase seeking to completely rewrite the way the operating system uses multiple processors. noun - primary two The FreeBSD Project, the organisation that manages the development of the FreeBSD operating system.

The FreeBSD Project has a close working relationship with Apple Computers Inc, they share bug fixes when dealing with the same codebase.

FreeBSD is an Unix operating system like Linux, but much older, more disciplined and more mature. It is faster and more stable for servers, but doesn't have such a wide range of software or such fast-growing support that Linux has. Linux is better if you want to play the games and other closed-source software released for Linux too- like [Enemy Territory], [UT2004] and so on. FreeBSD deserves to be more popular though, but from these other posts you can see why it isn't. Let's hope they're the minority of FreeBSD fans.

Mr. Newbie couldn't take the abuse and [RTFM]ming of the FreeBSD community, so installed [Gentoo] instead.

Something that has Microsoft very scared. A high-quality free unix variant based on the original Berkeley (BSD 4.4-lite) sources.

FreeBSD is going to destroy Microsoft, because nobody wants to pay out the a$$ to run Window$.

FreeBSD is a stable, well designed, fast POSIX operating system. It has a well organised group of experienced core developers. As a result it is far more reliable than Linux, whose architecture is vastly inferior.

Linux sucks; use FreeBSD instead :-)
