FreeBSD enables enterprise + organizations to utilize open source technologies that focus on + reliability, security, and scalability.</p> + + <p>"Yahoo! is impressed with the performance and stability of FreeBSD 6.0," + says David Filo, Yahoo! co-founder. Yahoo! is one of many enterprise + companies that rely on the world-renowned stability and performance of the + FreeBSD operating system.</p> + + <p>One of the new features in FreeBSD 6.0 is a multithreaded filesystem, + which greatly improves data access times for local disks, RAID + configurations, network filesystems, and SANs. Recent performance + benchmarks show that FreeBSD 6.0 outperforms Linux in raw data + throughput.</p> + + <p>Additionally, FreeBSD 6.0 extends support for wireless devices such as + Intel Centrino and adds support for the popular new WPA wireless security + protocol. Several improvements are incorporated into NDISulator, a + component of the operating system that allows Windows network drivers to + run natively under FreeBSD.</p> + + <p>FreeBSD now scales much more efficiently across multiple processor + systems. Support for 8 or more processors, such as the new dual core AMD + Opteron configurations, gives consumers a viable alternative against more + expensive, proprietary hardware platforms and operating systems from IBM, + HP, and Sun.</p> + +<h3>About the FreeBSD Project</h3> + + <p>The FreeBSD Project provides a free, open source operating system for + several platforms, including Intel x86 and AMD64. FreeBSD is derived from + BSD, the version of UNIX developed at UC Berkeley. The unencumbered BSD + license permits modification and redistribution of the software while + allowing an individual or company to retain intellectual property.</p> + + <p>For more information, please visit + <a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/">www.FreeBSD.org</a>.</p> + +<h3>Press Contact</h3> + + <p>For interviews or further information, contact: <a + href="mailto:marketing@FreeBSD.org">marketing@FreeBSD.org</a>, + +1-408-943-4100 ext 113; or The FreeBSD Foundation, +1-720-207-5142</p> + +&footer; +</body> +</html> + + Index: news/pressreleases.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/www/en/news/pressreleases.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.10 diff -u -d -p -r1.10 pressreleases.sgml --- news/pressreleases.sgml 4 Oct 2005 19:43:48 -0000 1.10 +++ news/pressreleases.sgml 4 Nov 2005 20:42:32 -0000 @@ -17,6 +17,12 @@ <dl> +<dt>November 4, 2005</dt> +<dd> +<a href="press-rel-8.html">FreeBSD Project Launches FreeBSD 6.0</a> +<p></p> +</dd> + <dt>January 20, 2003</dt> <dd> <a href="press-rel-7.html">FreeBSD Project announces FreeBSD 5.0</a> >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
