386bsd


operating system
(or “jolix /joh’liks/) a free software port originally derived from the generally available parts of the “berkeley net release/2” to the intel i386 architecture by william jolitz and friends. the name jolix is used to differentiate it from bsdi’s port based on the same source tape, which is called bsd/386.
many new and innovative features were added to 386bsd following its original release in june 1992. an unofficial patchkit, available from many anonymous ftp archives, solves many of the problems -ssociated with 386bsd version 0.1. in addition, many common unix packages have been ported.
386bsd has been superseded by freebsd, netbsd and openbsd.
