Term:
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)
Definition:
Implementation of the UNIX operating system and its
utilities developed and distributed by the University of
California at Berkeley. 'BSD' is usually preceded by the
version number of the distribution, e.g., '4.3 BSD' is
version 4.3 of the Berkeley UNIX distribution. Many
Internet hosts run BSD software, and it is the ancestor of
many commercial UNIX implementations. [Source: NNSC]
