<para>In the open source world, the word <quote>Linux</quote> is almost
synonymous with <quote>Operating System</quote>, but it is not the only
open source &unix; operating system. According
to the <link xlink:href="http://www.leb.net/hzo/ioscount/data/r.9904.txt">Internet
Operating System Counter</link>, as of April 1999 31.3% of the
world's network connected machines run Linux. 14.6% run BSD &unix;.
Some of the world's largest web operations, such as <link xlink:href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!</link>, run BSD. The world's
busiest FTP server of 1999 (now defunct), <link xlink:href="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/">ftp.cdrom.com</link>, used BSD to
transfer 1.4 TB of data a day. Clearly this is not a niche
market: BSD is a well-kept secret.</para>
open source &unix; operating system.</para>
<para>So what is the secret? Why is BSD not better known? This white
paper addresses these and other questions.</para>
