Web Hosting on FreeBSD Operating System
(excerpts taken from www.freebsd.org)About FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, AMD64, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC® architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals.
FreeBSD is distinguished by its high performance networking and filesystem support, and is widely used among Internet service providers, including industry-recognized companies such as Yahoo!, above.net, and Verio. FreeBSD is also frequently used as a platform for embedded networking devices, including products from IBM, Inktomi, Juniper Networks, and Network Alchemy - a Nokia Company.
Cutting edge features
FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones.
