Re: The Accessible *BSD Effort um, hello... its not obsolete. Its used as a server platform just like unix / linux is. BSD is just a little more subtle, you don't see stuff all the time about it. But well if it was all that obsolete then Mac OSX wouldn't have a platform to put all

Re: The Accessible *BSD Effort Hi. Absolutely correct, king gamer; I couldn't have said it better myself. I'd be interested in this project; the closest I've gotten to BSD is by using Mac OS X. Good luck with the project, king gamer! URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid

Re: The Accessible *BSD Effort The basic, quick and dirty history of BSD was that in the 1970s, the University of California Berkley started to invest their interest in UNIX, and started to fund money for PDP11 machines. Eventually, the students and faculty started to make modifications
