Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), also known as Berkeley Unix, is an operating system derived from Unix developed at the University of California, Berkeley from 1977 to 1995. Key events included the first BSD release in 1977, the addition of virtual memory and networking capabilities, and the release of 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD, which popularized the BSD TCP/IP stack. Variants such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD continue development of the BSD operating system today.
3. INTRODUCTION Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD, sometimes called Berkeley Unix) is the UNIX oprating system derivative, developed and distributed by the Computer System Research Group (CSRG) , of the University of California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.
4. BSD Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD, sometimes called Berkeley Unix) is the UNIX operating system derivative developed and distributed by the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.
5. The History of BSD 1973 - Ken Thompson/Dennis Richie deliver a paper on UNIX
6. Dr. Bob Fabry from Berkeley attends and later obtains a copy of UNIX
7. UNIX is installed on several Berkeley PDP/11’s
8. Ken Thompson takes a sabbatical at Berkeley, install Version 6 on a PDP/11, and writes a Pascal compilerThe History of BSD1977 - Bill Joy puts together 1st Berkeley Software Distribution (Version 1)
9. mid-1978 - 2BSD released with improved Pascal, termcap, vi (about 75 shipped)
24. These were later incorporated into System V using BSD code (which turned out to be a good thing)
25. 1988 - 4.3BSD-Tahoe released (machine-independent)The History of BSDUp through the release of 4.3BSD-Tahoe, users were required to purchase an AT&T source license.
42. Berkeley and AT&T end up settling after it turned out AT&T had removed UC-Berkeley copyright notices out of the BSD code (TCP/IP and fast file system) it had incorporated years earlierThe History of BSDBSD groups are formed to work together to maintain and enhance BSD

59. Most of the current BSD operating systems are open source and available for download, free of charge, under the BSD License, the most notable exception being Mac OS X. They also generally use a monolithic kernel architecture, apart from Mac OS X and DragonFly BSD which feature hybrid kernels. The various open source BSD projects generally develop the kernel and userland programs and libraries together, the source code being managed using a single central source repository. In the past, BSD was also used as a basis for several proprietary versions of UNIX, such as Sun's SunOS, Sequent's Dynix, NeXT's NeXTSTEP, DEC's Ultrix and OSF/1 AXP (now Tru64 UNIX). Of these, only the last is still currently supported in its original form. Parts of NeXT's software became the foundation for Mac OS X, among the most commercially successful BSD variants in the general market.

OpenBSD, a 1995 fork of NetBSD, focuses on portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated cryptography.

62. Free BSDFreeBSD is developed as a complete operating system. The kernel, device drivers and all of the userland utilities, such as the shell, are held in the same source code revision tracking tree, whereas with Linux distributions, the kernel, userlandutilities and applications are developed separately, then packaged together in various ways by others.End of Discussion
