BSD - Berkeley Software Distribution. To get more information have a read through the wikipedia :) One primary difference between linux and bsd is that in bsd, everything in the system is worked on by a core set of bsd developers. compare that with linux where hundreds of developers/coders working on simulataneously/concurrently. plus the focus in lot of BSDs around is on strong codebase, security and ehnacibility. Everyone knows about openbsd's popular ssh server. it has pretty well withstood the time <so far>. These days bsd's popular choice prevail as an alternative to windows/linux/solaris. Espceially Freebsd, OpenBSD and Netbsd. there are more. these were derived from 4.4BSD i think. have a great weekend folks.
