Workshop: Getting Started with FreeBSD

Audience:

FreeBSD is a free Unix-like operating system descended from Research Unix via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), also known as “Berkeley Unix.” It’s known for its reliability, stability, and advanced networking and performance. Join us for a full day workshop that will teach you how to install FreeBSD and the ports and packages necessary to get you up and running.

Once you’ve gotten the basics sorted, you’ll dive into setting up FreeBSD with a desktop environment and learn how to get a web browser installed. Then we'll teach you how to run Ansible Playbooks on FreeBSD to be able to control remote FreeBSD machines and automate the process of configuring FreeBSD.

You’ll leave the workshop with the knowledge to install and administer a FreeBSD Operating System and know where to go to learn even more about using FreeBSD.

Workshop Requirements: Bring a laptop computer with VirtualBox installed.
