It's a freely available operating system for x86 "PC compatible" computers, based on BSD, the version of Unix developed over many years at the University of California at Berkeley. For the record, BSD was the operating system which received a US Govt grant to incorporate the TCP/IP protocol in order to encourage its widespread use, and can therefore be seen as a significant factor in the development of the Internet. Many Internet servers still run some form of Unix derived (at least partially) from BSD. > And Second, does it work on Windows 95 and how does it work ? No, it is a complete operating system. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
