If you plan on getting FreeBSD via FTP, please check the listing of mirror sites in the handbook to see if there is a site closer to you. For more information about past, present and future releases in general, please visit the release information page.

If you are interested in a purely experimental snapshot release of FreeBSD-CURRENT (AKA 8.0-CURRENT), aimed at developers and bleeding-edge testers only, then please see the FreeBSD Snapshot Releases page.

FreeBSD-derived Operating System Distributions

FreeBSD is widely used as a building block for other commercial and open-source operating systems. The projects below are widely used and of particular interest to FreeBSD users.

  • PC-BSD is a FreeBSD derivative with a graphical installer and impressive desktop tools aimed at ease of use for the casual computer user.

  • FreeSBIE is a LiveCD based on FreeBSD. It works directly from a CD, without touching your hard drive. It also includes a simple and easily extendable toolkit used for the creation of embedded images.

Applications and Utility Software

The Ports Collection

The FreeBSD Ports Collection is a diverse collection of utility and application software that has been ported to FreeBSD.

For information about how you can contribute your favorite piece of software to the Ports Collection, have a look at The Porter's Handbook and the article Contributing to FreeBSD.
