BerkeleySoftwareDistribution, or perhaps BusinessSystemsDevelopments. "*BSD" is often used when talking about [FreeBSD], [NetBSD] and [OpenBSD] as a group. They all originally came from the same source code, the Berkeley Software Distribution from the [University of Calfornia, Berkeley|UCB]. 4.2BSD was perhaps the most influential version, released in September 1983. They are all released under the [BSDLicense]. Has a few Old distributions: * [4.3BSD_Net/2]%%%The first ''almost'' clean release. Was released with 6 missing files so it wouldn't need a AT&T [UNIX] licence. (wich didn't help much anyway). * [386BSD]%%%Bill Jolitz free BSD wich was the fondation for [NetBSD] and [FreeBSD]. * [BSD/386]%%%[BSDi]s first commercial release over wich they were sued together with University of Carlifornia by UNIX System Laboratories. * [4.4BSD-Lite]%%%The ''blessed'' release, everything based on this has a ''get out of jail free'' card thanks to [Novell]. This release is what came out from the USL suit. Has a few Free distributions: * [FreeBSD] [FreeBSD.org|http://www.freebsd.org]%%%FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for Intel ia32 compatible, DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures. It is derived from BSD UNIX, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. * [NetBSD] [NetBSD|http://www.netbsd.org]%%%NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable UNIX-like operating system available for many platforms, from 64-bit [Alpha]Servers and desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices, and even [PlayStation2]. * [OpenBSD] [OpenBSD|http://www.openbsd.org/]%%%The OpenBSD project produces a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system. Our efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated cryptography. and a few others: * [BSD/OS] [ BSDi | http://www.bsdi.com ]%%%The commercial BSD. * Berkeley DataBase etc... ---- As quoted by fortune(6): ''There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.'' -- Jeremy S. Anderson Good things Berkeley gave us: * [TCP]/[IP] (aka Berkeley sockets) and related tools * GEOS for the Commodore 64 * The [BSDLicense] Bad things Berkeley gave us: * csh(1) ---- Yet Another Three Letter [Acronym] See also CategoryOperatingSystem
