[Home]386BSD

HomePage | Recent Changes | Preferences

386BSD is a free software/open source port of the BSD UNIX operating system to the Intel 80386 processor, orignally released in June 1992. It was derived from the generally available parts of the [Berkeley Net Release/2]?.

This port was a step in the removal of code proprietary to AT&T, the presence of which was a barrier to the ability of people to legally and freely redistribute the operating system code.

386BSD has been superseded by FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
