FreeBSD is not a UNIX clone. Historically and technically, it has greater rights than UNIX System V to be called UNIX. Legally, it may not be called UNIX, since UNIX is now a registered trade mark of The Open Group."

Hi - I am a newbie (newbie-newbie), does your organization have a newsletter
for newbies like me? If so, how do I sign up? One last Question: What does
"BSD" stand for?  I found out about you through a search that said your
system is used to run MSN - Hotmail.com.  To me this makes your system better
than MS.
