An overview of ThinOS, a FreeBSD-based thin client from Dell |
 |
The FreeBSD Foundation is shinning a spotlight on Dell's ThinOS, a FreeBSD-based operating system which "is a ready-to-deploy solution that aims to improve virtual desktops while offering a secure platform for applications and services." Dell is planning a series of updates to ThinOS which will bring improved hardware support and better compatibility with Linux applications. "The roadmap for ThinOS includes: Upgrade base OS to FreeBSD 14: The next version of ThinOS, version 10, will use the current release version of FreeBSD, version 14. Enhanced Hardware Support: Upgrading the FreeBSD kernel to support an ever-widening array of hardware platforms, ensuring ThinOS remains compatible with the latest technological advancements. Linux Application Compatibility: Improving FreeBSD’s Linux application binary interface (ABI) will allow a broader base of Linux applications to run seamlessly on ThinOS, enhancing its versatility and appeal. Driver Portability: Making it easier to port Linux device drivers to FreeBSD, which will streamline the integration process and the adoption of new hardware technologies. Advanced Security Features: This feature builds upon the MAC (Mandatory Access Control) framework to introduce more sophisticated security capabilities, fortifying ThinOS against emerging threats." Additional details about improvements coming to FreeBSD and ThinOS are discussed in the Foundation's case study. |
