[-- Attachment #1 --] University of California at Berkeley at one point in time bought the rights to work on UNIX from Bell Systems back in 1978. They shortly thereafter forged their own variant of UNIX which they called BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution). Soon after came 2BSD (which shipped 75 copie, as opposed to the 30 shipped of BSD.) 2.8.1BSD gave way to many enhancements, and is more important than 3BSD in that aspect. 4BSD was released in 1980, 4.1BSD in 1981 (which has revisions made between 82 and 83), 4.2 in 83, and finally 4.4BSD in 93. (I think some of those dates are inaccurate, but I only have one source on this at the moment.)) After 4.4BSD, UCB was forced to become BSDI, which is now a major non-free Unix. Using 4.4BSD, there have been multiple offspring. OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and BSD Lite. Open referring to Open source, Net referring to Networking based and Free being without cost. BSD Lite is a small version of BSD (never really had much experience with anything but FBSD.) And if the rumors I've heard have any validity, I hear FBSD 5.0 is planning on united OBSD, NBSD and FBSD. Yay! ----- Original Message ----- From: Mr. Makarand Kulkarni To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 2:24 AM Sir i want to know what is the meaning of FreeBSD, please let me know its fullform regards naveen [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>University of California at Berkeley at one point in time bought the rights to work on UNIX from Bell Systems back in 1978.
