  FreeBSD
       
           A free operating system based on the BSD
          4.4-lite release from Computer Systems Research Group at
          the University of California at Berkeley.
       
          FreeBSD requires an ISA, EISA, VESA, or PCI based
          computer with an Intel 80386SX to Pentium CPU (or
          compatible AMD or Cyrix CPU) with 4 megabytes of RAM and
          60MB of disk space.
       
          Some of FreeBSD's features are: preemptive multitasking with
          dynamic priority adjustment to ensure smooth and fair sharing
          of the computer between applications and users.  Multiuser
          access - peripherals such as printers and tape drives can be
          shared between all users.  Complete TCP/IP networking
          including SLIP, PPP, NFS and NIS.  Memory
          protection, demand-paged virtual memory with a merged
          VM/{buffer+cache" rel="nofollow">VM/{buffer cache design.  FreeBSD was designed as a 32 bit
          operating system.  X Window System (X11R6) provides a
          graphical user interface.  Binary compatibility with many
          programs built for SCO, BSDI, NetBSD, 386BSD, and
          Linux.  Hundreds of ready-to-run applications in the FreeBSD
          ports collection.  FreeBSD is source code compatible with
          most popular commercial Unix systems and thus most
          applications require few, if any, changes to compile.  Shared
          libraries.  A full compliment of C, C++, Fortran and
          Perl development tools and many other languages.  Source
          code for the entire system is available.  Extensive on-line
          documentation.
