BSD 4.4 and FreeBSD 4.4 are different. BSD/OS 4 is another thing too

it's a version of linux...

or one of the many "distros" of it if you'd like to call it that.

You're joking right?

bsd is not linux....

bsd is fully postx compatible.. its a true unix os


linux is not truly unix... but close enough

Hehe, BSD is most certainly not a version Linux. They may both be Posix-like OSs, but their similarities end there. Linux is based on Bell Labs' System V UNIX, Free BSD is based on Berkeley Software Distribution's BSD. BSD is much, much, much older than Linux (BSD was released in '78 or '79, IIRC).

Linux is not fully POSIX compliant, and I can only think of 1 bsd that has a recent UNIX registration, and thats SunOS. So FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Darwin, etc are *NOT* UNIXes

EDIT: Sun OS does nto have a recent registration.... Sorry.
