Berkley Unix

Berkeley UNIX, often called BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), is an influential version of the UNIX operating system developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It provided advanced networking features, improved stability, and open-source code, fostering innovation in computing. BSD influenced many later operating systems, including versions of macOS and Linux. It is known for its robust performance, security features, and modular design, making it a foundation for servers, internet infrastructure, and academic research. Essentially, Berkeley UNIX played a key role in shaping modern operating systems used worldwide in computing environments.
