FreeBSD is a free, open-source Unix-like operating system descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution. It began when a group of developers, including Jordan Hubbard, Nate Williams and Rod Grimes, started to maintain patches for 386BSD, an early port of BSD to PCs, which had been left without a maintainer. The project was announced under the name FreeBSD, and its first release followed shortly afterward. It is known for its networking performance, stability and its integrated ports system, as well as features such as jails for isolating processes. Its permissive licence has encouraged companies to use it, and it has been used for large servers and in commercial products.
