description:
Briefly, FreeBSD is a UN*X-like operating system based on U.C.
Berkeley's 4.4BSD-lite release for the i386 platform. It is also based
indirectly on William Jolitz's port of U.C. Berkeley's Net/2 to the
i386, known as 386BSD, though very little of the 386BSD code remains. A
fuller description of what FreeBSD is and how it can work for you may
be found on the FreeBSD home page.

changes:
A new jail(2) system call and admin command (jail(8)) have been added
for additional flexibility in creating secure process execution
environments. An emulator for SVR4 binaries has been added. Support has
been added for direct access to NTFS filesystems. The base C/C++
compiler has been upgraded from GCC 2.7.2 to EGCS 1.1.2 and much more.

urgency:
high
