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386BSD has been superseded by FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
