A Narrative History of BSD

Presenter(s): Marshall Kirk McKusick
URL: 2011.linux.conf...
Learn the history of the BSD (Berkeley Software Distributions)
from one of its key developers, who brings the history to life,
complete with anecdotes and footnotes to the historical narrative.
The BSD community began at the UC Berkeley in the late 1970s.
You'll hear about the triumphs and defeats of the project and
its releases during its heyday in the 1980s. The Berkeley era
concludes with the tumultuous lawsuit, ultimately settled in
Berkeley's favor, which allowed the final release in 1992 of
4.4BSD-Lite, an open-source version of BSD. The talk includes
a brief commentary on the FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, and
Dragonfly projects that took their genesis from the release of
4.4BSD-Lite.

Who would fall asleep if he gave the full 3-hpur history?? Jeez. I'm looking around KZbin for all 3 of the options he gives in some of his talks! His book is DEEP, all about the kernel.

I'd like to see the third part; lawsuits. Do you know if it's available on KZbin?

I'm less interested in *BSD's history now so much as its future.

PASCAL was a solid language.

@11:44 As someone who spent their weekend editing termcap db files to get my two terminals to act even remotely acceptable, I agree with your friend.
