	BSD - The Unix-like operating system for all of us \| PhxBUG - Phoenix BSD User Group
		Today's BSD operating systems are Unix derivatives which are developed and released under the BSD license, one of the most open and permissive of all software licenses available today.
		BSD Unix is a derivative of the original ATandT Unix, and has a mature history extending back to the original Unix roots.
		BSD systems distributed under the BSD license are free to use for commercial applications, as a basis for closed source binary applications, and do not require that improvements or modifications made to the system be released to the public under the same license.

	Salon Free Software Project \| BSD Unix: Power to the people, from the code
		Berkeley Unix worked so well that DARPA* chose it to be the preferred "universal computing environment" linking together Arpanet* research nodes, thus setting in place an essential piece of infrastructure for the later growth of the Internet.
		Berkeley Unix has morphed through multiple phase shifts since its inception some 20 years ago, from the Joy-dominated era of the late '70s and early '80s to the more collaborative period that began after Joy's departure to Sun in 1982.
		BSD patriots argue that the battle is far from over, that BSD is technically superior and will therefore win in the end.

	Salon Free Software Project \| BSD Unix: Power to the people, from the code
		Unix was always more than just a bit player in a showdown between the world's largest government and the world's biggest corporation.
		Unix was, at least in the mind's eye of scientists like Fabry, "a thing of beauty." And from the very beginning, Unix benefited from a communal vibe that spread directly from its creators, Ritchie and Thompson.
		Joy saw his work on Unix as research, to be shared with the rest of the academic research community the same way professors had been sharing the fruits of their labors for thousands of years.

	BSD India - What is BSD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The BSD operating systems are not clones, but open source derivatives of AT&T's Research UNIX operating system, which is also the ancestor of the modern UNIX System V. This may surprise you.
		It's true that AT&T UNIX is not open source, and in a copyright sense BSD is very definitely not UNIX, but on the other hand, AT&T has imported sources from other projects, noticeably the Computer Sciences Research Group of the University of California in Berkeley, CA.
		Initial BSD releases consisted mainly of user programs, but that changed dramatically when the CSRG landed a contract with the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) to upgrade the communications protocols on their network, ARPANET.

	Apple - Mac OS X - UNIX
		Beneath the surface of Mac OS X lies an industrial-strength UNIX foundation hard at work to ensure that your computing experience remains free of system crashes and compromised performance.
		UNIX users will feel at home in Darwin, the robust BSD environment that underlies Mac OS X. That environment is accessible at any time from the Terminal application.
		All of the standard UNIX utilities and scripting languages are included in Mac OS X: editors such as emacs, vim and even ed; file management tools such as cp, mv, ls and tar; shell scripts including bash (the default shell), tcsh (csh) and zsh.

	Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		With the commercialization of Unix, the researchers at Bell Laboratories were no longer able to act as a clearing-house for the ongoing Unix research.
		That was because the BSD systems were never released by Berkeley in a binary-only format; the distributions always contained the complete source to every part of the system.
		While this reintegration caused a short-term delay in the development of the various BSD systems, it was a blessing in disguise since it forced all the divergent groups to resynchronize with the three years of development that had occurred at the CSRG since the release of Networking Release 2.

		Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the University of California on July 22 1999.
		The "xattr" functions have existed in various forms for many years on other flavors of Unix, but this is their first appearance in Mac OS X. The Unix manual page explains.
		However, during much of the time that BSD was under legal threat, its adoption slowed and tended to feed the increasing interest in Linux at that time.

	BSD's strength lies in devilish details
		BSD is the established favorite of Internet service providers, which are attracted to BSD for its familiarity (many ISP techies cut their teeth on BSD-based SunOS) and its low cost.
		BSD is recognized for its stability, security, small footprint (the standard distribution runs in 5MB of RAM), and ease of installation.
		BSD's release schedule is not as aggressive as Linux's, but BSD manages to keep up with its users' needs through interim releases.

	Introduction to BSD UNIX Volumes and File Structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A key goal for UNIX was to provide the power and generality of larger timesharing systems (most notably Multics) with a much smaller and simpler implementation.
		UNIX file systems worked pretty well, and for many years the only changes made to them were to move to larger block sizes (to provide better throughput).
		BSD file systems are fairly traditional in this respect (with twelve direct pointers, one indirect, one double-indirect, and one tripple-indirect pointer)...

	Unix Wars
		In 1987, ATandT entered an alliance to develop a standard Unix version with Sun Microsystems, the leading vendor of the BSD Unix variant.
		Fabry requested a copy of the system, received Unix edition 4 in January, 1974, and a group of UCB computer scientists and mathematicians began working with the system.
		Several efforts were made in the in 1980's to develop open Unix specifications and standards, such as by the IEEE POSIX group and a European group of companies called X/Open, with some limited success.

	Differentiating Among BSD Distros
		Through efforts on the part of a few key members of the original BSD development team, such as William F. Jolitz, the final parts of the code were developed under an open source license and produced 386BSD.
		Darwin itself is derived from the BSD layer of the NextStep operating system, developed by NeXT, the company set up by Steve Jobs after he left Apple in the 1980s.
		BSD systems have a reputation for better reliability than some alternatives, largely because they are developed with smaller, more focused development teams.

		He was one of the cofounders of Sun Microsystems, where he did the first port of BSD Unix to a commercial system, resulting in Solaris 1 which was for years one of the best commercial implementations of Unix around.
