- Advertisement -

National FreeBSD Day is observed annually on June 19 as a tribute to the pioneering legacy and ongoing technological impact of ‘The FreeBSD’ Project. FreeBSD is an operating system for numerous platforms that are still in use in the modern world. Did you know that FreeBSD is completely cost-free? FreeBSD is available without cost and includes the source code, despite the fact that you might expect such a popular operating system to be expensive. Let’s gain a deeper understanding of this operating system and software.

The background of National FreeBSD Day

For those who are still uncertain about what FreeBSD is, let’s break it down. FreeBSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system that was developed in 1993 by the University of California, Berkeley. It was a groundbreaking innovation in open-source technology because FreeBSD can be modified and redesigned at no cost to satisfy the needs of the user, according to the licence terms.

Since then, FreeBSD has risen to great heights and been lauded by many as the most popular and trustworthy free and open-source BSD-based operating system ever created. Whether a person is familiar with FreeBSD or not, whether they are aware of it or not, it is likely that they have already utilised the vast number of services and products that use code derived from it. It is currently used on the servers of leading technology companies, such as Netflix for streaming your favourite movies, WhatApp for instantaneous communication with loved ones in any part of the world, and the Sony PlayStation 4 gaming console for its amazing features. Can you believe that Apple’s macOS is founded on the BSD operating system? Yes! Therefore, it is presumably a good idea to celebrate National FreeBSD Day annually.

National FreeBSD Day was established by the FreeBSD Foundation to recognise its pioneering and ongoing impact on technology and to honour its legacy. Therefore, if you are a tech and education enthusiast who adores FreeBSD, you are most likely using it on your computers right now. This merits a celebration!
