- This disc will contain the complete FreeBSD 2.0 operating system, a
- full BSD 4.4 Lite compatible 32 bit operating system. This product
- includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley
- and its contributors. We expect version 2.0 to ship around December
- 1994.
-
- FreeBSD has a simple CDROM installation. You also can switch
- operating systems easily with an easy to set up Multi-OS boot system.
-
- FreeBSD comes with XFree86 2.1 (X11R5 patch level 25) with support
- for VGA/SVGA, TSENG ET3000/ET4000, S3 801/805/928, ATI Ultra/Ultra
- Pro and IBM 8514 accelerated graphics cards. Ready-to-run X11
- utilities and libraries such as XView, XV, Tcl/Tk, JPEG and other
- image manipulation tools, etc.
-
- FreeBSD comes with full USENET News and mail (nntp, trn, elm, mh).
- You get Berkeley-style (TCP/IP) networking services (ftp, telnet,
- rlogin) with SLIP, PPP, gopher, archie, and industry standard NFS.
-
- Complete development environment with GNU C and C++ compilers (v.
- 2.4.5), GDB, f2c (Fortran to C), source debuggers, profilers, Gnu
- emacs 19.22, etc. You get TeX 3.14, ghostscript, FlexFax fax
- software, afm fonts, ksh, and bash shells, etc.
-
- FreeBSD 2.0 will feature a fully coherent, dynamically-sized
- VM/buffer cache, giving better performance and stability under load.
- FreeBSD 2.0 incorporates a number of advanced 4.4 features (portals,
- `union' filesystems, etc) without compromising the V1.X kernel
- features and support that users have come to know and expect.
-
- *EVERYTHING* comes with source code. With FreeBSD you get a tightly
- integrated build system that lets you *make* the whole source tree
- with one command. FreeBSD has ISO 9660 and Rock Ridge CDROM support.
- The disc is in Rock Ridge format.
-
- This disc comes with a full money back guarantee from Walnut Creek
- but *no* technical support. The comp.os.386bsd.* newsgroups on the
- internet provide a complete support network.
