That depends on what you mean by BSD UNIX. If you mean 4.3BSD, then the answer is "age". FreeBSD is a descendent of 4.[123]BSD. > 2) can i order directly online? if so, how much (in US currency)? Check http://www.cdrom.com. I think the answer is yes. > 3) is the software including manuals? In machine-readable form only. You can print them out if you want. You can also buy a book to go with it, "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm).
