No matter what the application, you want your system's resources performing at their full potential. FreeBSD's focus on performance, networking, and storage combine with easy system administration and excellent documentation to allow you to do just that.
A complete operating system based on 4.4BSD
FreeBSD's distinguished roots derive from the BSD software releases from the Computer Systems Research Group at the University of California, Berkeley. Over ten years of work have been put into enhancing BSD, adding industry-leading SMP, multithreading, and network performance, as well as new management tools, file systems, and security features. As a result, FreeBSD may be found across the Internet, in the operating system of core router products, running root name servers, hosting major web sites, and as the foundation for widely used desktop operating systems. This is only possible because of the diverse and world-wide membership of the volunteer FreeBSD Project.

They're already predicting, mathematically, what you'll want to watch,
what you'll want to wear, and who you'll want to vote for. Obviously,
the next step is for computers to read your mind—and that's just what
they're working toward at Tufts University in Boston.
Your computer won't be picking up details about your plans for the
evening anytime soon. But researchers with the Human Computer
Interaction group at Tufts have, thanks to a $450,000 grant from the
National Science Foundation, come up with a straightforward way for
your computer to tell if you are overworked, under-worked ornot workingat all, according to a paper they will present next week at an Association of Computing Machinery symposium.
That may not sound like penetrating perception, but the researchers
hope that capacity will eventually help them gain real-time insight
into the brain's more subtle emotional states and help provide pointers
about how we can get work done more efficiently.
Популярността на лаптопите расте не с дни, а с часове. Понастоящем пазарът на преносимите компютри преживява бум - нови модели се появяват ежемесечно, намаляват се цените, увеличава се производителността и функционалността.
И ако преди години само предполагахме, че те някога ще заменят "сивите кутии" на настолните компютри, в момента с увереност може да се каже, че времето е дошло.
За да разберат потребителите, които никога по-рано не са се сблъсквали с портативни компютри, какво да очакват от употребата на мобилния помощник, IDG.bg са направили анкета между техни познати, несвързани с компютърната тематика.
