Um, no.... BSD was a version of Unix that was done at Berkeley. They were one of the first Universities to REALLY get work done with Unix adding things that we all now take for granted (Vi, TCP/IP, more) and basically came out with this "BSD" which was in very high demand and VERY popular. It, in my mind, was better than the AT&T Unix.
Linux uses System V style Init. It's BASED on SunOS. Linus Torvalds said that when he started working on Linux, his reason for doing so, was that he wanted to run on HIS computer, the same thing he had been using at the University, which, was SunOS. He said his early inspiration for Linux was SunOS.
Just because it uses System V init doesn't mean it's actually based on it...
Linux should include new technologies, or why not?, Is that Linux includes more new hardware, but I mean as is "within "management technologies, security, etc. .. PD: I know that BSD is more secure, stable and fast, although in relation to performance, ports are not very fast.
I'm going to go ahead and agree with the other replies on here and say you should REALLY get some History books on Unix / Linux / BSD, and read them. I'd recommend "Just for Fun", "A Quarter Century of Unix" and also the DVD "25 Years of Berkeley Unix", and a few others mentioned already.
