Jails can now have the amount of memory available to their processes' resident sets (RSS) CPU limiting is implemented by giving each jail a number of CPU shares and tracking the estimated CPU usage of the tasks that run in that jail

FreeBSD is a robust, open-source operating system derived from the Berkeley Software Distribution . Renowned for its advanced networking capabilities, impressive performance, and unwavering stability, FreeBSD serves a diverse range of platforms, including servers, desktops, and embedded systems. Its permissive licensing model encourages extensive use and modification, making it a preferred choice for both individual developers and large enterprises. Key Features and Functionality: - Security: FreeBSD is designed with security at its core, featuring mechanisms like Jails for operating system-level virtualization, Capsicum for application sandboxing, and CheriBSD for memory protection and compartmentalization. - Performance: The operating system boasts a lightweight base system, an efficient TCP/IP stack for reduced latency, and the Z File System for high-capacity, fault-tolerant storage. - Stability: FreeBSD's comprehensive development process ensures a stable environment, encompassing the kernel, device drivers, user utilities, and documentation. - Licensing: Its permissive open-source license allows for extensive use and modification without imposing stringent conditions, facilitating integration into both open-source projects and proprietary products. Primary Value and User Solutions: FreeBSD addresses the need for a secure, high-performance, and stable operating system suitable for a wide array of applications. Its advanced features make it ideal for internet services, embedded systems, and desktop environments. The permissive licensing model offers flexibility for developers and organizations to customize and integrate FreeBSD into their projects without restrictive obligations.

It really depends on what you want to use it for.

The flexibility and stability of a UNIX system is what's great about FreeBSD. I used to use it while in university, and I enjoyed it a lot, however, it has its downsides as well, such as software compatibility, etc. which I think must have improved a lot since then.

Amazing Jails

Creating isolated secure virtual machines. Network stack virtualization engine. In the case of hacking a virtual system and bringing its functionality out of action, it will not affect other running virtual systems.

What is Free BSD Jails?

FreeBSD Jails is a robust and flexible security feature native to the FreeBSD operating system, which allows administrators to partition a FreeBSD-based computer system into several independent mini-systems called "jails". This technology enhances security, system stability, and containment without the overhead of starting virtual machines. Each jail operates like a separate instance of FreeBSD, with its own users and applications, and it can be configured with its own IP addresses, while still sharing the host system\'s kernel. Jails are widely utilized for a variety of purposes including hosting environments, testing environments, and isolated secure areas for potentially risky operations.For detailed documentation, further resources, and updates on FreeBSD Jails, you can visit their dedicated wiki page at [https://www.wiki.freebsd.org](https://www.wiki.freebsd.org), although it appears this link may be incorrect or outdated. For accurate and up-to-date information, the official FreeBSD website and handbook section on Jails should be consulted.
