FreeBSD
(operating system)FreeBSD requires an ISA, EISA, VESA, or PCI basedcomputer with an Intel 80386SX to Pentium CPU (orcompatible AMD or Cyrix CPU) with 4 megabytes of RAM and60MB of disk space.
Some of FreeBSD's features are: preemptive multitasking withdynamic priority adjustment to ensure smooth and fair sharingof the computer between applications and users. Multiuseraccess - peripherals such as printers and tape drives can beshared between all users. Complete TCP/IP networkingincluding SLIP, PPP, NFS and NIS. Memory protection, demand-paged virtual memory with a mergedVM/buffer cache design. FreeBSD was designed as a 32 bit operating system. X Window System (X11R6) provides agraphical user interface. Binary compatibility with manyprograms built for SCO, BSDI, NetBSD, 386BSD, andLinux. Hundreds of ready-to-run applications in the FreeBSDports collection. FreeBSD is source code compatible withmost popular commercial Unix systems and thus mostapplications require few, if any, changes to compile. Shared libraries. A full compliment of C, C++, Fortran andPerl development tools and many other languages. Source code for the entire system is available. Extensive on-linedocumentation.
