Like it says right at the top of the page at http://www.freebsd.org/ --

    What is FreeBSD?

    FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, DEC
    Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC(R) architectures. It is derived
    from BSD, the version of UNIX(R) developed at the University of
    California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large
    team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of
    development.

It's not Linux, although there are some similarities and both OSes can
run a large amount of software in common.

        Cheers,

        Matthew
