386BSD
BSD386
jolix
<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 associated with 386BSD Version
0.1. In addition, many common Unix packages have been ported.
386BSD has been superseded by {FreeBSD}, {NetBSD} and {OpenBSD}.
