KembaraXtra–Computer Terms – 386BSD
386BSD is a version of the BSD UNIX operating system created for systems based on the Intel 80386 processor. It is distinct from BSD386, which was produced by Berkeley Software Design, Inc. Released in 1992 as a freely distributable system, 386BSD played a key role in the history of open-source UNIX-like operating systems. Over time, it gave rise to two significant descendants, NetBSD and FreeBSD, each of which evolved into separate, widely used projects. These later systems continued and expanded the design goals of 386BSD, focusing on portability, robustness, and performance across a wide range of hardware platforms.
