FreeBSD was derived from BSDlite which itself was derived from the original UNIX System V from AT&T (afaik).  better check the history of fbsd at their website.

as far as reliability and speed i find fbsd to be reliable than linux.  ever tried resetting your pc in succession without a graceful shutdown?  linux would throw up!

  Dear Sirs;
   
  I'm considering trying FreeBSD and have experience with both System 5 Version 4, Redhat Linux 6.xx and greater and Suse 6.x.x and greater.What are their similarities and differences. Is your OS closer to Unix if so exactly without writing paragraphs are the major differences; if any? Why if I'm use to using and familiar with Redhat or Suse would I want to switch to FreeBSD?
   
  Sincerely
