About Free BSD

FreeBSD is a free Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). It has been characterized as "the unknown giant among free operating systems". It is not a clone of UNIX, but works like UNIX, with UNIX-compliant internals and system APIs. FreeBSD is generally regarded as reliable and robust.

In this, the kernel, device drivers and all of the user land utilities, such as the shell, are held in the same source code revision tracking tree, whereas with Linux distributions, the kernel, user land utilities and applications are developed separately, then packaged together in various ways by others.
