About FreeBSD

FreeBSD releases and editions tracked in the OpenFactory public operating-system catalog.

All FreeBSD releases and desktops

What happens when you press Try now

The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh FreeBSD virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.

Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean FreeBSD 12.4 DVD1.

Questions about this target

Is this an official FreeBSD image?

Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official FreeBSD media. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.

Do changes persist between sessions?

No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean FreeBSD 12.4 DVD1.

Can I get a customized FreeBSD instead of the stock demo?

Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
