BSD常被当作工作站级别的Unix系统,这得归功于BSD用户许可证非常地宽松,许多1980年代成立的计算机公司,不少都从BSD中获益,比较著名的例子如DEC的Ultrix,以及Sun公司的SunOS。1990年代,BSD很大程度上被System V 4.x版以及OSF/1系统所取代,但其开源版本被采用,促进了因特网的开发。

Berkeley Software Distribution BSD
(重定向自BSD UNIX)
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is a Unix operating system derivative developed and distributed by the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995. Today the term "BSD" is often used non-specifically to refer to any of the BSD descendants which together form a branch of the family of Unix-like operating systems. Operating systems derived from the original BSD code remain actively developed and widely used.
