BSD

All fun out of the pool for oldfag swim! "Okay, hi. Okay. My name is Boxxy."

BSD, Berkeley System Distribution, or Berkeley Unix, is a Unix (ev&oe it almost has no old Unix code) operating system that was firstly developed in 1978 in University of California, Berkeley or something. It is best known for being one of the most aryan, gigachad, divine intellect operating systems (unlike Troonix and Binbows) that power PlayStation 4 and 5, powerful desktops and servers to small embedded systems, like routers.

BSD is a monolithic system (unlike the seemingly similar Troonix), having it's drivers, kernel, and just everything kept together.

History and creation

BSD started development in 1978 in University of California, Berkeley by a chad named Bill Joy, who also made the vi Editor (which later got forked into a gemmy vim Editor). BSD was firstly an extension to Unix, though by the 90's it was mostly it's own code.

1BSD

1BSD was the first release of the operating system, though it was mostly just small additions to the base Unix with nothing pretty much special.

2BSD and 3BSD

2BSD and 3BSD were released in 1979, with actual noticeable additions, such as like the vi Editor, and the csh shell, while the 3BSD was a big rewrite because of the VAX machine or something.

Later BSD started to get more of it's original code, and removed much of the old Unix one, and started to shape into an actual gemmy operating system.

Post 80's

By 1994, BSD stopped development and became discontinued. From 4.3BSD Net/2, a fork named 386BSD was made, which later was the base of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. (ev&oe some of them are based on 4.4BSD with some 386BSD code). They are still the shiniest, most refined gems till this day.

In the 2000's, Crapple made their own BSD clone called Darwin from the gemmy FreeBSD, but made it proprietary garbage with Apple and CIA spyware embedded into the OS.

BSDs

• FreeBSD - The most famous one and the most modern one. If you want to use BSD, use this.
• OpenBSD - A very secure BSD, perfect for learning system security. Also why OpenSSH exists.
• NetBSD - Made to run on almost anything. From gigantic servers to small embedded systems, NetBSD is probably gonna run.
• DragonflyBSD - Nophono BSD that no one cares about.
• 386BSD - Oldfag BSD, is the oldest one aside from the OG BSD. Only for the historical purposes.
• Darwin - The one that was the base for all Crapple Operating systems.
