Hello Peter > I would like to know what is the different between Sun Solaris BSD and > freebsd At a very superficial level (i.e. my knowledge on this is not deep :-) o Solaris is based on AT&T System V (R4) o FreeBSD is based on BSD 4.4 However, earlier versions of SunOS were BSD based. There are a number of good books that have a history of Unix, and that can explain the differences between SysV4 and BSD. I rather like Richard Stevens `Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment'. The introduction to the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/) contains a brief history of Unix (as it relates to FreeBSD).
