The FreeBSD Operating System

FreeBSD is an advanced, UNIX-like Operating System, derived from the original BSD UNIX, which was developed in the University of Berkeley, California. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals, who work on various aspects of it, like programming, documentation, advocacy, bug fixing, etc. It is mainly used in large servers, in companies like Yahoo!, Sony Japan, NetCraft and others. As a general purpose OS, it is also suitable for home and desktop usage. As the name implies, FreeBSD is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and you may download it free of charge from a mirror site. A good choice for Greece, is Otenet's FTP Site

This site contains information on the FreeBSD operating system, and is primarily focused on the ongoing effort of translating its documentation into the Greek language.

Read more details on the Greek Documentation Project and how you can help in this effort.
