Berkeley Software Distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2486 words) |
 | BSD was widely identified with the versions of Unix available for workstation-class systems, a factor attributable to its use as an easily-licensed operating system familiar to the founders of many 1980s tech startups from educational use, the most notable versions being DEC's Ultrix and Sun's SunOS. |
| The lawsuit slowed development of the free-software descendants of BSD for nearly two years while their legal status was in question, and as a result systems based on the Linux kernel, which did not have such legal ambiguity, gained greater support. |
| DragonFly BSD is the newest of the BSDs, focusing on using a better SMP system than FreeBSD and making the kernel capable of natively supporting SSI clustering for high performance computing, although the project is still a few years away from achieving this goal and currently focused on the i386 platform. |
