FreeBSD is a UNIX which is very stable and used by many ISP's for
servers on the internet. We use is at our ISP office and here in the
webcenter as desktops and CD burners. The system is very easy to use and
the stability is legendary. That is why MAC has now gone to FreeBSD for
the basis of its operating system.
