As in Berkeley Software Distribution. No connection with the BSD UNIX
team. My history of working with C and Unix goes back to 1977 or
1978. I've spent most of my career working at AT&T and have had the
occasion to speak with a few of the original Unix characters (Brian
Kernighan, Dennis Richie, Steve Bellovin) from time to time. Started
playing with Linux back in the early nineties. I was having a problem
with a particular SCSI controller and someone suggested using the
"other driver" from the FreeBSD system. That solved the problem so I
decided to try FreeBSD and that gradually became my preferred OS.
Everyone else was using Linux, so I became known as the "BSD guy".
Gradually switched back to Linux a couple of years ago. Never owned
an Apple.
