+<h3>FreeBSD raises the bar for open source operating systems.</h3>
+
+  <p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br>
+    Berkeley, CA November 4, 2005</p>
+
+  <p>The FreeBSD Project announces the availability of FreeBSD 6.0, an open
+    source operating system derived from BSD UNIX, which offers a powerful
+    alternative to Linux, Solaris, and Windows. FreeBSD enables enterprise
+    organizations to utilize open source technologies that focus on
+    reliability, security, and scalability.</p>
+
+  <p>"Yahoo! is impressed with the performance and stability of FreeBSD 6.0,"
+    says David Filo, Yahoo! co-founder. Yahoo! is one of many enterprise
+    companies that rely on the world-renowned stability and performance of the
+    FreeBSD operating system.</p>
+
+  <p>One of the new features in FreeBSD 6.0 is a multithreaded filesystem,
+    which greatly improves data access times for local disks, RAID
+    configurations, network filesystems, and SANs. Recent performance
+    benchmarks show that FreeBSD 6.0 outperforms Linux in raw data
+    throughput.</p>
+
+  <p>Additionally, FreeBSD 6.0 extends support for wireless devices such as
+    Intel Centrino and adds support for the popular new WPA wireless security
+    protocol. Several improvements are incorporated into NDISulator, a
+    component of the operating system that allows Windows network drivers to
+    run natively under FreeBSD.</p>
+
+  <p>FreeBSD now scales much more efficiently across multiple processor
+    systems. Support for 8 or more processors, such as the new dual core AMD
+    Opteron configurations, gives consumers a viable alternative against more
+    expensive, proprietary hardware platforms and operating systems from IBM,
+    HP, and Sun.</p>
+
+<h3>About the FreeBSD Project</h3>
+
+  <p>The FreeBSD Project provides a free, open source operating system for
+    several platforms, including Intel x86 and AMD64. FreeBSD is derived from
+    BSD, the version of UNIX developed at UC Berkeley. The unencumbered BSD
+    license permits modification and redistribution of the software while
+    allowing an individual or company to retain intellectual property.</p>
