- FreeBSD 2.2.1 is a full, professional, UNIX operating system.
- <UL>
- <LI>Simple CDROM installation.
- <LI>Easy switching between multiple operating systems.
- <LI>Rock-stable performance.
- <LI>Complete development environment.
- <LI>Integrated WWW server.
- </UL>
-
- FreeBSD is based on Berkeley 4.4 BSD, developed by the University of
- California, Berkeley, and its contributors.
-
- Complete development environment with GNU v2.7.2.1 C and C++ compilers,
- fortran-to-C (f2c) and GDB debugger.
-
- It also comes with packages such as PERL, TCL, scheme, logo, forth, basic,
- ICON and GNU emacs 19.34b. For printing you get TeX 3.14, ghostscript, Hylafax
- and AFM fonts. The provided bash, csh, zsh and tcsh shells give you a rich
- choice of operating environments. FreeBSD supports ISO 9660 and RockRidge
- format CDs.
-
- Walnut Creek CDROM relies exclusively on FreeBSD for our 106 Gigabyte, 1,600
- user ftp and www machine at ftp.cdrom.com. You get:
- <UL>
- <LI>Berkeley-style TCP/IP networking services (telnet, ftp, http, whois, nslookup, rlogin, etc.).
- <LI>Industry standard NFS, NIS and AMD servers with PPP and SLIP support make FreeBSD fully Internet ready.
- <LI>Full USENET News and mail reading software (nntp, trn, elm, pop, pine, mh).
- <LI>Extra Internet utilities including gopher, archie, and WAIS.

- FreeBSD comes with the industry standard X Window system (X11R6) for the PC,
- XFree86 3.2. You also get a rich set of ready-to-run X utilities such as fvwm
- window manager, TCL/Tk, Xaw3d, xjpeg, etc. The system comes with complete
- source code. FreeBSD provides a tightly integrated build system that lets you
- recompile the entire source tree with one command. If you want stable
- networking or a powerful development environment, FreeBSD is the Operating
- System for you.
