As Linux and FreeBSD often run side by side, Linux administrators would do well to learn how to configure FreeBSD to meet their needs. Michael Lucas presents a guide to customizing the FreeBSD kernel, written for the Linux oriented.
FreeBSD : Articles : FreeBSD ports and packages system explained
Posted: ( Mon 20th Mar 2000 01:24:09[PM] UTC )
If you've ever toyed around with one of the many Unix-based operating systems, chances are that you've encountered source code that would not compile on your system maybe because your system is missing other programs the compile depends on. The FreeBSD ports/packages system attempts to address all of these issues and make third party application installation a breeze.
FreeBSD : Articles : OpenBSD 2.6 - new features
Posted: ( Fri 11th Feb 2000 07:45:34[AM] UTC )
Well it's been a few months, and a new release of OpenBSD is out (since December 1st 1999 actually) and I thought it was high time I covered some of the new features and improvements. For those of you unfamiliar with OpenBSD it is a flavor of UNIX based on BSD, with one main goal in mind. Security. The entire purpose of OpenBSD is to provide a fast, stable, and above all, secure computing platform.
FreeBSD : Articles : Design Elements of the FreeBSD VM System

The title is really just a fancy way of saying that I am going to attempt to describe the whole VM enchilada, hopefully in a way that everyone can follow.

Description
|
BSD is a direct descendant of the Unix operating system. BSD stands for
Berkeley Software design and dates back to work done by Sun Microsystems
co-founder Bill Joy to create the first free version of Unix when he was at
Berkeley in the late 1970s. Later a group of Berkeley computer scientists
added to his work, eventually beginning a project called 386BSD designed
to rewrite Unix so it could be used on a PC with Intel chips. After Berkeley
stopped funding the effort, BSD split off in several directions. AT&T also
caused a lot of problems for BSD in 1993 when they hit BSD with a copyright
lawsuit. BSD recovered and runs most of the high traffic sites on the Internet.
Unlike Linux, BSD is targeted more towards the server.
FreeBSD is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for the Intel compatible
(x86), DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures. FreeBSD's claim to fame is
robust networking which makes it ideal Internet or Intranet server.
The NetBSD project has been to make the base OS extremely portable. This
has resulted in NetBSD being ported to a large number of hardware platforms.
Another derivative, OpenBSD, is supposed to be the most secure operating
system in the world.
