SDI is an independent company that markets products derived from the Berkeley Systems Distribution (BSD), developed at the University of California at Berkeley in the 60's and 70's. It is the operating system of choice for many Internet service providers. It is, as with Linux, not a UNIX system, though in this case there is a common code heritage if one looks far enough back in history. Is this true? Do you really have to look "far" back to see where the code comes from? What was considered "UNIX"? All the AT&T code? How about SVR4, is this the mailine of UNIX proper? If so, then how do they say that BSD is also not in the mailine of UNIX? Just brushing up on my history.
