Berkeley Software Distribution
From STNY LUG Wiki
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD, sometimes called Berkeley Unix) is the UNIX operating system derivative developed and distributed by the Computer Systems Research Group of the University of California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.
Historically, BSD has been considered as a branch of UNIX—"BSD UNIX", because it shared the initial codebase and design with the original AT&T UNIX operating system.
Today, the term of "BSD" is often non-specifically used to refer to any of its descendants, which together form a branch of the family of Unix-like operating systems.
