FreeBSD Speedruns

Introduction

This article documents FreeBSD Setup "speedruns" recorded by community members in various categories.

Note: FreeBSD Speedruns are intended to be fun exercises for community members to test their skills, encourage constructive competitive interaction, and to share FreeBSD with the world, not as perfectly accurate or precise competitions.

Having said that, there are some basic rules to reduce variability and encourage consistent and reproducible speedruns by others wherever possible, but we prefer people to create speedruns, over not running them due to lack of resources or hardware.
