FreeBSD Source:
|
|
---------------
|
|
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.
|
|
A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years.
|
|
Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
