<heading>What does 'BSD' mean?</heading>
<p>It stands for something in a secret language that only
members can know. It doesn't translate literally but its ok to
tell you that BSD's translation is something between, 'Formula-1
Racing Team', 'Penguins are tasty snacks', and 'We have a better
sense of humor than Linux.' :-)
<p>Seriously, BSD is an acronym for 'Berkeley Software
Distribution', which is the name the Berkeley CSRG (Computer
Systems Research Group) chose for their Unix ditrubtion way back
when.
