The operating system of choice for serious Internet users.

(two column)

FreeBSD is a direct descendant of the legendary 4.2BSD, which defined
the Internet.  17 years of uninterrupted development have made it the
world's most mature network operating system.  See why it is the
choice of Internet Service Providers and other businesses which rely
on serious networking performance and reliability.

You get complete network software, including:

*       The original, highly acclaimed, industrial strength Berkeley TCP/IP
	networking, the basis of the Internet, including PPP and SLIP
	support.

*       All the network software, not just a selection.

*       Complete E-mail and Internet News software (mutt, elm, pine,
        mh, pop, trn, nntp and more).

*       Industry standard NFS, World-Wide-Web, Email and Internet
	News servers.
*       Network servers for Microsoft network environments.
*       Hylafax fax software.

The FreeBSD book and CDROM set offers you a complete reference to
utilize FreeBSD to its fullest.  You get the complete FreeBSD operating
system with all the tools and add-ons you would expect from the
world's most stable Internet software.  From installing the operating
system to customizing network servers, this book and CDROM set provide
the ideal solution.  Along the way, you will read detailed descriptions
on sharing FreeBSD and other operating systems; installing and
configuring the X Window system; reconfiguring the FreeBSD kernel to
suit your needs, and much more!

FreeBSD comes with the industry standard X Window system (X11R6) for
the PC, XFree86.  You also get a rich set of ready-to-run X utilities
such as fvwm window manager, xjpeg, tcl and tk.

The system comes with complete source code.  FreeBSD provides a
tightly integrated build system that lets you recompile the entire
operating system and support software from source with just one
command.

FreeBSD also comes with complete development environment with GNU C,
C++ and egcs compilers and gdb debugger.  It also comes with packages
such as perl, tcl, scheme, forth and GNU Emacs.  For printing you get
groff, TeX, ghostscript and AFM fonts.  The bash, csh, zsh and tcsh
shells give you a rich choice of environments.  FreeBSD supports ISO
9660 and RockRidge format CDs.

Walnut Creek CDROM, the publisher of this book, relies exclusively on
FreeBSD to power its Web site and its FTP site.  The busiest site in
the world according to independent auditors, ftp.cdrom.com uses
FreeBSD to manage 5,000 users, 4 GB RAM, and over 500 GB of hard drive
space.  It transfers a terabyte of data downloads every day.  And what
makes Yahoo! scream?  FreeBSD!
