2. Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD,
sometimes called Berkeley Unix) is the
UNIX operating system derivative
developed and distributed by the
Computer Systems Research Group
(CSRG) of the University of California,
Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.

3.  Berkeley Software Distribution
 Named this because of AT&T’s permission for
Berkeley students to further develop the source
codes for their UNIX System. Berkeley students
found new ways to use the operating system by
virtually rewriting all the codes thus creating a
more accessible operating system.
 BSD has produced descendants that operate in
ways unexpected by the original UNIX System.
Some descendants from BSD are DragonFly BSD,
PicoBSD, OpenBSD, MirBSD and many more. BSD
allowed for further advancement to the UNIX
System

4.  1973 - Ken Thompson/Dennis Richie
deliver a paper on UNIX
 Dr. Bob Fabry from Berkeley attends
and later obtains a copy of UNIX
 UNIX is installed on several Berkeley
PDP/11’s
 Ken Thompson takes a sabbatical at
Berkeley, install Version 6 on a
PDP/11, and writes a Pascal compiler

5.  1977 - Bill Joy puts together 1st Berkeley
Software Distribution (Version 1)
 mid-1978 - 2BSD released with improved
Pascal, termcap, vi (about 75 shipped)
 1978 - Berkeley obtains a VAX-11/780
 A copy of AT&T 32/V UNIX is installed - does
not take advantage of virtual memory

6.  1979 - VAX/BSD distribution
assembled includes:
• virtual memory
• std 32/V utilities
• all BSD additions
 Bill Joy ships about 100 tapes of
3BSD

7.  DARPA becomes interested in BSD
• wants to have common platform
(reduced porting costs on different /w
and os’s)
• desires distributed network
• UNIX chosen to solidify DARPA user
base
 1980 - DARPA grants Berkeley 18 month
contract to add DARPA contractors features

8.  1983 - 4.2BSD is released
• over 1000 shipped - Very popular
 1986 - 4.3BSD released w/ BSD TCP/IP stack
 AT&T did not have networking/fast file system.
• These were later incorporated into System V
using BSD code (which turned out to be a good
thing)
 1988 - 4.3BSD-Tahoe released (machine-
independent)

9.  Up through the release of 4.3BSD-Tahoe,
users were required to purchase an AT&T
source license.
• AT&T continued to increase the license
cost.
• PC vendors wanted the TCP/IP stack
code, so this was split out.
 1989 - Networking Release 1
•first freely distributed code form Berkeley
(open source)

10.  early 1990 - 4.3BSD-Reno released
• virtual memory system from the MACH
kernel
• SUN-compatible NFS

11.  1990 - Keith Bostic proposes having BSD
become freely-distributed with most source code
included
•Bostic pioneers the technique of mass net-based
development
 All UNIX utilities re-written from scratch
•Within 18 months, most lib’s/utilities rewritten
 Karels, Bostic, and McKusick go through
kernel, file-by-file rewriting 32/V code and
removing it from the release
 1991 - Networking Release 2 begins distribution
 Several open source groups form to continue
the BSD work

12.  1992 - AT&T files suit against Berkeley Software
Design Inc. (BSDi)
• BSDi heavily discounts source/binary products
over System V
• AT&T suit alleges BSDi products contain USL
code/trade secrets
 Counter suit is filed in California
• Berkeley and AT&T end up settling after it
turned out AT&T had removed UC-Berkeley
copyright notices out of the BSD code (TCP/IP
and fast file system) it had incorporated years
earlier

13.  BSD groups are formed to work together to
maintain and enhance BSD
• NetBSD is focused on supporting as many
platforms as possible
• FreeBSD was formed a few months later and
focuses on PC’s.
• OpenBSD is focused on improving the
security of BSD
 Today work continues on BSD through the
NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD distributions.
• These are available via downloading over the
internet

14.  Why BSD was so important
• allowed research environment to grow
UNIX
• pioneered internet based open source
development
• released programs with code or as code
 Open source has attracted a lot of attention.
• Linux is probably the most well know
• about half of the utilities come from the
BSD distribution

16.  FreeBSD is a Unix-like free operating
system descended from AT&T UNIX via the
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)
branch. It runs on Intel x86 family.
 FreeBSD has been characterized as "the
unknown giant among free operating
systems." It is not a clone of UNIX, but
works like UNIX, with UNIX-compliant
internals and system APIs.

17.  FreeBSD is developed as a complete
operating system. The kernel, device drivers
and all of the userland utilities, such as the
shell, are held in the same source code
revision tracking tree, whereas with Linux
distributions, the kernel, userland utilities
and applications are developed separately,
then packaged together in various ways by
others.

18. Comparison between Network Oss
Performance
WindowsLinuxFreeBSD
Windows is adequate for
routine desktop apps, but
it is unable to handle heavy
network loads. A few
organizations try to make
it work as an Internet
server. For instance,
barnesandnoble.com uses
Windows-NT, and they
verified by an error
messages.
For their own "Hotmail"
Internet servers, Microsoft
used FreeBSD for many
.years
Linux performs well for
most applications, however
the performance is not
optimal under heavy
network load. The network
performance of Linux is
20-30% below the capacity
of FreeBSD running on the
same hardware
2
. The
situation has improved
somewhat recently.. Since
both operating systems are
open source, beneficial
technologies are shared
and for this reason the
performance of Linux and
FreeBSD is rapidly
.converging
FreeBSD is the system of
choice for high
performance network
applications. FreeBSD will
outperform other systems
when running on
equivalent hardware. The
largest and busiest public
server on the Internet uses
FreeBSD. FreeBSD is used
by Yahoo!, Qwest and
many others as their main
server OS because of its
ability to handle heavy
network traffic with high
performance and rock solid
reliability

Free Applications
WindowsLinuxFreeBSD
The amount of free
Windows software is much
less than what is available
for Unix. Many Windows
applications are provided
as "shareware", without
source code, so the
programs cannot be
customized, debugged,
improved, or extended by
.the user
There are huge numbers of
free programs available for
Linux. All GNU software
runs on both Linux and
FreeBSD without
modification. Some of the
free programs for Linux
differ between
distributions, because
Linux does not have a
central ports collection.
There are many, many
gigabytes of FREE software
available for FreeBSD.
FreeBSD includes
thousands of software
packages and an extensive
ports collection, all with
complete source code.
Many people consider the
FreeBSD Ports collection to
be the most accessible and
easiest to use library of free
software packages available
anywhere.

Price, and Total Cost of Ownership
WindowsLinuxFreeBSD
The server edition of Windows
costs nearly $700. Even basic
applications cost extra. Users
often spend many thousands of
dollars for programs that are
included for free with Linux or
FreeBSD. Documentation is
expensive, and very little on-line
documentation is provided. A
license is required for every
computer, which means delays
and administrative overhead. The
initial learning curve for simple
administration tasks is smaller
than with Unix, but it also
requires a lot more work to keep
the system running with any
.significant work load
Linux is FREE. Several
companies offer
commercial
aggregations at a very
low cost. Applications
and Documentation is
available for little or
no cost. There are no
licensing restrictions,
so Linux can be
installed on as many
systems as you like for
no additional cost.
Linux's total cost of
ownership is very low.
FreeBSD can be
downloaded from the
Internet for FREE. Or it
can be purchased on a
four CDROM set, along
with several gigabytes of
applications, for $40. All
necessary
documentation is
included. Support is
available for free or for
very low cost. There is
no user licensing, so you
can quickly bring
additional computers
online. This all adds up
to a very low total cost
of Ownership.
