Web Developer Resource Index: FreeBSD

FreeBSD is a Unix-like operating system for the Alpha/AXP, AMD64 and Intel EM64T, i386� IA-64, PC-98, and UltraSPARC platforms based on UCB “4.4BSD-Lite” release, with some “4.4BSD-Lite2” enhancements. It is also based indirectly on William Jolitz’s port of UCB’s “Net/2” to the i386, known as “386BSD”, though very little of the 386BSD code remains.

Paraphrased from the FreeBSD FAQ: What is FreeBSD?
