New page

There are many uses for the [[operating system]] '''FreeBSD''', but [[we]] know FreeBSD especially for its reputation as a stable server operating system. Some of the servers in the [[2006 /dev/null/nethack tournament]] used FreeBSD. (Compare FreeBSD with [[Debian]], the OS behind [[nethack.alt.org]].)

The [http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html FreeBSD Ports Collection] is the easy way to install software onto FreeBSD, turning your machine into a nice web server or KDE box, for example. The other [[BSD]] operating systems forked their ports collections from FreeBSD. Two important packages are [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/games/freebsd-games/ freebsd-games] (for [[Hack]], Larn, and [[Rogue (game)|Rogue]]) and [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/games/nethack34/ nethack34].

A unique feature of FreeBSD is the [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=jail&sektion=8 jail]. A jail has its own IP address and cannot see any files outside of the jail. Perhaps this convinced some tournament admins to use FreeBSD as a NetHack server, not another [[BSD]] or [[Unix]]. By locking the [[ssh]] or [[telnet]] server-daemon and [[NetHack]] in a jail, should there be a problem in security, the intruder is unable to attack anything outside of the jail.

FreeBSD supports fewer hardware platforms than [[NetBSD]] and [[OpenBSD]].
