Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is a version of the Unix operating system developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It provides the core software that manages hardware and software tasks on computers, offering stability and security. BSD is known for its open-source nature, meaning anyone can view, modify, and distribute the code. Many popular operating systems, including parts of macOS and the foundation for various server systems, trace their roots to BSD. It’s valued for its robustness, licensing freedom, and influence on modern computing infrastructure.
