FreeBSD to Celebrate 10 Year Anniversary in SF, CA

Posted by michael on from the a-good-time-will-be-had-by-all dept.

Dan writes "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...in the early part of 1993...the last 3 coordinators of the 'Unofficial 386BSD Patchkit' would go on to start the FreeBSD project that has grown to be used by millions of websites and installations around the world. Murray Stokely is talking about Jordan Hubbard, Nate Williams, and Rod Grimes. Looking for a catchy name, David Greenman suggested FreeBSD and it stuck. With the help of Walnut Creek CDROM, the first CDROM distribution, FreeBSD 1.0, was released in December of 1993."

    Well, yes, there are so many immature Leanux kiddoes that can't handle the fact that a *BSD is actually a mature OS, and not just another kernel+patch.
