-Another Free Unixlike Operating System, for mainly
[Intel
] machines, although does
the DEC Alpha as well, and perhaps others. People tend
to dislike
the [GPL
] and use the
[BSDLicense
] instead
, so most
of FreeBSD is under
the [BSDLicense

a very [BSD] feel to it

] is
the second [BSD]
to come in
the early 90s. Its traditional home architecture is
[x86
], though it also runs (or is beeing ported to) on
[Alpha
], [amd64], [ia64], [MIPS], pc98, [PPC] and sparc64. Despite the fact that
of the [*BSD
]s it's probably closest to
a typical LinuxDistribution, which are typically [SysV]ish, it feels
very much like a
[BSD] system. Naturally
, as all [BSD]
s are, it too is under [BSDLicense]
.
