BSDi
The Berkeley Software Design Inc. offers the commercial operating system BSD/OS for x86 compatible computer. BSD/OS descended of BSD Net/2 (1991) and is licenced under the BSD software licence. It is cheap, reliable, offers high accuracy and performance. BSD/OS is compatible for POSIX and use the file system FFS (Fast File System). It finds application for web hosting, e-mail server, Dial-Up server, proxy and DNS, router, firewall, Load Balancing and many further network services.
Update March 2000 BSDi merges with Walnut Creek CDROM, the main distributor of FreeBSD and Slackware Linux.
Update April 2001 Wind River Systems, Inc. takes over the operating system BSD/OS and the FreeBSD business from BSDi. The sale shall be completed until the end of April this year. BSDi renamed in iXsystems, Inc. and focus his energy on the hardware business with Internet servers and cluster in future. iXsystems becomes licenses to use BSD/OS and access to development tools of Wind River.
Update Jan. 2002 Wind River transfers the FreeBSD business with all customers and employees in this area to FFreeBSD Mall, Inc. and concentrates on BSD/OS, vxWorks and Linux software solutions now. Already in October 2001 Wind River cancelled the financial support of FreeBSD.
Update Dec. 2003 Wind River stops the further development and the support for BSD/OS Internet Server Edition (ISE). The support for customers and the publication of bug fixes shall only be guaranteed up to Dec., 31. 2004.
According to the original NetBSD release notes posted to the comp.os.386bsd.misc newsgroup on April 20, 1993, "NetBSD, as its name implies, is a creation of the members of the network community and without the 'net, it's likely that this release wouldn't have come about." This first NetBSD release was based heavily 386BSD and the various 386BSD patchkits that were released. This release also began the tradition of leveraging a very large network community to produce a complete distribution that included not only the applications found in 386BSD, but also additions made by this community. Also, as stated in the original NetBSD 0.8 release notes, the goals of NetBSD include "an escape from the political wars surrounding what we consider a wonderful operating system and the rapid development of a stable release which we would consider of 'production quality.'" The comment on the political climate of the day underscores the thoughts many in the BSD community shared. It was at this time that Linux also began to gain an ever-strengthening foothold on the "free UNIX" market as Linux carried much less "political baggage." As with any other BSD-derived OS, when the settlement was reached between Novell and BSDI, the maintainers of NetBSD were required to synchronize their BSD with 4.4BSD-lite.
