In the world of FreeBSD there is only one OS: it's called FreeBSD, which comes in numbered versions. There are FreeBSD-derivatives, but those are *not* FreeBSD itself. FreeBSD does not have "distributions" in the same way Linux has.
If you want to run on a Raspberry Pi 3B (a 64-bit one)...
Hiyall,
I have been a Linux user for 7 years and have enjoyed the ride and am now turning my attention to Free BSD.
I want to install it on my LEAST efficient hardware: Raspberry Pi 3b.
Please recommend:
1. Which format
2. Which O/S
Only safe and reliable, please.
Ancillary question: can it be...
for years I am running small application on Pi 1b+, as it doesn't require much CPU nor memory. Since it is armv6 based the end will come with freebsd 13.5.
Therefore I am looking for a replacement, that runs ideally on arm64, has a similar size and most important, doesn't have noticeable more...

Hi,
After running the benchmarks/stream bench tool on both official FreeBSD 14.0 and 14.3 Raspberry PI 5 it seems that on the same hardware the 14.3 is consistently slower (~5-10%).
We also see this on custom ARM Cortex-A72 hardware where similar performance degradation is visible also in other...

Though, I've needed Chrome for another purpose. Chrome requires Linux compat. Don't recall if I tried if www/chromium would work for purposes, but I believe it didn't.
If I had to, I'd use a...
dear all,
i perused the forum and handbook in search of a thread about using *android studio* but failed to find something recent, do not hesitate to let me know if i missed it.
it seemed people used the linux compatibility layer but an often read sentence was "not impossible but a massive...
15.0-BETA1 on the Raspberry Pi 4b is much better than 14.3 but:
- The default WiFi interface isn't detected, unlike NetBSD 11 Beta (which is also better than 10.1) & OpenBSD 7.8
- It gets stuck in a loop when I use an USB hub to plug a USB Wireless dongle.
- U-boot sucks.
But anyway I think...
I got the same issue Useradd mentioned and if I run pkg upgrade -f I get:
Installed packages to be DOWNGRADED:

300 SIM servers, those aren't the typical 1U "pizzabox" servers you might be thinking off.
The devices in the picture look like one of these: https://www.discoverytelecom.eu/catalog/5683.htm
That's a SIM server, there's 8 of them in the picture.
Edit: Weird, link suddenly leads to a 404. Lets...
Something doesn't add up. It says they found "300 servers". Suppose they found 300 1U servers (assuming the "servers" weren't raspberry pi's!) .... say 20 to a rack... that's 10 full height racks. Then you need power distribution, power supplies, network switches, network cabling, KVM's...
I didn't know about FabBSD, which was a command line BSD for CNC machining, automation and instrumentation. It's been around until 2018, and was from Canada. It was based on 4.4BSD and OpenBSD.
BeOS was a single user operating system which was independently developed. It was created by a former...
Hi sko.
Thank you for your comment.
Deleting offloading settings
The USB Ethernet adapter I'm using only has the following options when I run ifconfig, so unfortunately there are no offloading settings to disable:
net0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu...
That's because hardly anyone realizes that ARM includes Raspberry Pi's. When SBC's take off, there will be more. A lot of BSD's except NetBSD understand the importance of GPU drivers for ARM. They use drivers for VideoCore. We're still stuck with the assumption that everything uses Nvidia...
Well, I can see what you're getting at, but supporting multiple instruction sets and hardware architectures rapidly becomes a major burden in production; it's bad enough having to support multiple iterations of x86 itself, just ask microsoft! :) Java was yet another attempt to obviate that...
No, it is not. Where do you get your compiled binary packages from? Some automated web site. You simply say "pkg install foo" (on a Linux machine you say "apt install foo"). When running on an Intel machine (architecture=amd64), the pkg command will download the appropriate pkg for this...
