alternative to Windows and commercial Unix for running Internet
servers.”

servers for such high-profile names as Yahoo and Best Internet

“FreeBSD is a Unix-like operating system based on the
4.4BSD-Lite code base the University of California released to the
public in 1994. It runs on the Intel x86 architecture…The
operating system is also available for the DEC Alpha platform.”
