| 总结: | For years, the BSD family of operating systems has been a popular choice for developers and system
administrators. The BSDs provide well-engineered development processes, secure and stable operating
systems, well-written documentation, and a license that allows users to freely modify the system to meet
their needs. However, it was traditionally difficult for a casual computer user to get started using a BSD
system due to an initially steep learning curve. What was needed was a desktop BSD that allowed users
to start using the operating system immediately and still allowed them to “peek under the hood” as they
wanted to increase their knowledge of how things work.
The PC-BSD project was started in 2005 to address this need and has since matured into a stable,
feature-rich, and easy-to-use operating system. Its userbase and popularity continue to grow among
existing BSD users and users who are looking for alternatives to Windows, Mac, or Linux. Just as Ubuntu
has revolutionized the Linux desktop, PC-BSD has revolutionized the BSD desktop.
PC-BSD has been designed to appeal to everyone, from casual computer user to the most advanced
computer hacker. Things “just work,” meaning you don’t have to know how things work just to get them
to work. Things are also infinitely customizable, where the only limit is literally how much you are
willing to learn. PC-BSD is also suited to users with special needs—it can be easily customized for users
with disabilities or users who read languages other than English.
PC-BSD also provides a vibrant community of end users, translators, writers, and developers. If
joining an open source community interests you, you’ll enjoy the friendliness, enthusiasm, and
helpfulness of other PC-BSD users.
It is our hope that you enjoy the information in this book and learn all kinds of interesting things as
you read through it. This book is meant to be “done” as much as “read,” and every page contains
something you’ll want to try out on a system. So, grab a computer, the latest version of PC-BSD, and
prepare to explore the PC-BSD operating system! |
