Ready-to-run software like the http://nginx.org[NGINX] or http://www.apache.org/[Apache] web server or the http://proftpd.org/[ProFTPD] or http://security.appspot.com/vsftpd.html[vsftpd] FTP server make it easy to set up a business or community-centered ISP. Of course, with FreeBSD's unbeatable link:../internet/[networking], your users will enjoy high speed, reliable services. -* *X Window workstation.* From an inexpensive X terminal to an advanced X display, FreeBSD works quite well. Free X software (http://x.org/[X.Org](T)) comes with the system. http://www.nvidia.com/[NVIDIA] offers native drivers for their high-performance graphics hardware, and the industry standard http://www.opengroup.org/motif/[Motif](R) and http://www.opengl.org/[OpenGL](R) libraries are supported. The http://xfce.org/[Xfce] and http://lxde.org/[LXDE] products provide a desktop environment. The http://www.kde.org[KDE] and http://www.gnome.org[GNOME] desktop environments also enjoy full support and provide office suite functionality, with further good functionality available in the https://www.libreoffice.org/[LibreOffice], http://www.openoffice.org/[OpenOffice.Org] and http://www.softmaker.com/en/[TextMaker] products. +* *X Window workstation.* From an inexpensive X terminal to an advanced X display, FreeBSD works quite well.

The LLVM-based clang suite is also provided and will eventually replace the GNU suite. Java(R) and Tcl/Tk development are also possible for example, and more esoteric programming languages like Icon work just fine, too. And FreeBSD's shared libraries have always been easy to make and use. You can also choose from a wide range of popular and powerful editors, such as Emacs and Vim. +* *Software development.* A suite of https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/developers-handbook/tools/[development tools] comes with FreeBSD, including the LLVM-based clang C/C++ compiler and debugger.

FreeBSD versions of http://www.chromium.org/Home[Chromium] and http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/[Firefox] are available for serious web users. Surf the web, publish your own web pages, read Usenet news, and send and receive email with a FreeBSD system on your desktop. * *Education and research.* FreeBSD makes an excellent research platform because it includes complete source code. Students and researchers of operating systems or other computer science fields can benefit greatly from such an open and well-documented system. * *And much more.* Accounting, action games, MIS databases, scientific visualization, video conferencing, Internet relay chat (IRC), home automation, multiuser dungeons, bulletin board systems, image scanning, and more are all real uses for FreeBSD today. |
