BSD - Berkeley Software Distribution. To get more information have a read
through the wikipedia :) One primary difference between linux and bsd is that
in bsd, everything in the system is worked on by a core set of bsd
developers. compare that with linux where hundreds of developers/coders
working on simulataneously/concurrently. plus the focus in lot of BSDs around
is on strong codebase, security and ehnacibility. Everyone knows about
openbsd's popular ssh server. it has pretty well withstood the time <so far>.
These days bsd's popular choice prevail as an alternative to
windows/linux/solaris. Espceially Freebsd, OpenBSD and Netbsd. there are
more. these were derived from 4.4BSD i think.
have a great weekend folks. Yay!
cheers dude
