Yes, I have the book right here and I used it as a refrence (I'll be using it alot too...Greg I hope you won't mind. :) ) Also, I have read the introduction to the BSD 4.4 book (the red book) which has a pretty good history section. Although, I think I should first explain what BSD is, then move on to explaining what Free/Open/Net BSD is. Basically, my website has a sort of "splash" screen which has my BSDULA logo and I wanted a one-liner description/definition of BSD. I feel that is will help people that came to the site by accident understand what the site is about before moving into the more informative documents. Also, you brought up another important issue....the comparisons between Linux and *BSD. I probably should mention something about GPL vs. BSD License, but I don't know enough about it to say anything accurate. Anyone wanna help me on that? A nice short write up on the pro's and cons' of each license? Thanks for the ideas and pointers.
