Original: The Beginning of BSD Unix https:// suppo.fi/post/15233336

A history piece tracing the origins of BSD Unix is circulating among tech enthusiasts. The Berkeley Software Distribution began at the University of California, Berkeley in the late 1970s as a variant of AT&T's Unix, and went on to shape operating systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS. Readers are sharing and discussing the early developments that laid the groundwork for modern open-source software.

Why now: Tech communities frequently revisit foundational computing history, and BSD's origins remain a touchstone for discussions about open-source lineage.
