Raspberry Pi Gains New FreeBSD Distribution

Accepted submission by Phoenix666 at 2015-08-19 13:25:33
OS

Raspberry Pi owners can dig out their SD-card formatting tools of choice again, because a new version of FreeBSD [theregister.co.uk] has emerged for the machines,

RaspBSD will work on the Pi models B and B+ and promises to run on more “soon”. The “more” looks like including the BeagleBone Black and the Banana Pi.

FreeBSD has been available on the Pi for some time, as recorded in this post by the Pi foundation. This cut of the OS is the work of FreeBSD contributor and forum administrator Brad Davis, who says “The Goal of this project is to build images easily useable by anyone. Sometimes that means images preloaded with different packages to help new users get started.”

Anyone working on fun Pi projects this summer?
