afterthought--- Two things came out of Berkley - AIX and ACID. Coincidence?
Huh? AIX has nothing to do with Berkeley. AIX was derived from SVR2 by IBM in 1986 long after Berkeley started developing the other major UNIX branch of 1BSD in 1978. And I don't think ACID came out of Berkeley, either, I believe it came out of Harvard (but I don't know my ACID history very well).
FWIW, *BSDs, SunOS, QNX, and Irix are mostly BSD based. And Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and UnixWare are mostly SysV based. However, AIX has had little influence from SysV for so long that at this point it really is it's own UNIX-like OS.
Yes. And BSE must be a followup to BSD. ;-P Juergen
