FreeBSD is a free Unix @-@ like operating system descended from Research Unix via the Berkeley Software Distribution ( BSD ) . Although for legal reasons FreeBSD cannot use the Unix trademark , it is a direct descendant of BSD , which was historically also called " BSD Unix " or " Berkeley Unix " . The first version o... |
FreeBSD has similarities with Linux , with two major differences in scope and licensing : FreeBSD maintains a complete operating system , i.e. the project delivers kernel , device drivers , userland utilities and documentation , as opposed to Linux delivering a kernel and drivers only and relying on third @-@ parties ... |
The FreeBSD project includes a security team overseeing all software shipped in the base distribution . A wide range of additional third @-@ party applications may be installed using the pkgng package management system or the FreeBSD Ports , or by directly compiling source code . Due to its permissive licensing terms ... |

FreeBSD 's roots go back to the University of California , Berkeley . The university acquired a UNIX source license from AT & T. Students of the university started to modify and improve the AT & T Unix and called this modified version Berkeley Unix or BSD , implementing features such as TCP / IP , virtual memory and t... |
In June 1989 , " Networking Release 1 " or simply Net @-@ 1 – the first public version of BSD – was released . After releasing Net @-@ 1 , Keith Bostic , a developer of BSD , suggested replacing all AT & T code with freely @-@ redistributable code under the original BSD license . Work on replacing AT & T code began an... |

In 1992 , several months after the release of Net @-@ 2 , William Jolitz and Lynne Jolitz wrote replacements for those six missing files and ported BSD to the Intel 80386 @-@ based microprocessors and called their new operating system 386BSD . They released 386BSD via an anonymous FTP server . The development flow of ... |
In the early days of the project 's inception , a company named Walnut Creek CDROM , upon the suggestion of the two FreeBSD developers , agreed to release the operating system on CD @-@ ROM . In addition to that , the company employed Jordan Hubbard and David Greenman , ran FreeBSD on its servers , sponsored FreeBSD c... |
Today , FreeBSD is used by many IT companies such as IBM , Nokia , Juniper Networks , and NetApp to build their product . Certain parts of Apple 's Mac OS X operating system are based on FreeBSD . The PlayStation 3 operating system also borrows certain components from FreeBSD , while the PlayStation 4 operating system... |

386BSD and FreeBSD were both derived from 1992 's BSD release . In January 1992 , BSDi started to release BSD / 386 , later called BSD / OS , an operating system similar to FreeBSD and based on 1992 's BSD release . AT & T filed a lawsuit against BSDi and alleged distribution of AT & T source code in violation of lice... |

|
As a general purpose operating system , FreeBSD could be used in various scenarios :
|
Servers
|
FreeBSD contains a significant collection of server @-@ related software in the base system and the ports collection , it is possible to configure and use FreeBSD as a mail server , web server , Firewall , FTP server , DNS server and a router , among other applications .
|
Desktop
|
Although FreeBSD does not install the X Window System by default , it is available in the FreeBSD ports collection . A number of Desktop environments such as GNOME , KDE and Xfce , and lightweight window managers such as Openbox , Fluxbox and dwm are also available to FreeBSD .
|
Embedded systems
|
Although it explicitly focuses on the x86 and x86 @-@ 64 platforms , FreeBSD also supports others such as ARM , PowerPC and MIPS to a lesser degree .
