Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD, sometimes called Berkeley Unix) is a Unix operating system derivative developed and distributed by the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) of the University of California, Berkeley, from 1977 to 1995.
NOTE:
Today, there are several popular distributions of 'BSD', among them are FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD.
FreeBSD is perhaps most widely used today as a web server platform.
OpenBSD is perhaps best known for it's focus on security.
And NetBSD is most renowned for it's ability to be run on nearly everything from a coffee pot to a mars rover (if anyone ever travels there with a NetBSD gumstick).

PC-BSD is a distribution of FreeBSD, a free and open-source Unix-like operating system. PC-BSD is focused on desktop use, and features the KDE desktop environment, a GUI popular with Linux distributions. Probably the most distinguishing feature of PC-BSD is the method of installing software. FreeBSD and most Linux distributuions use a package manager to download and install software. PC-BSD software is installed in a more Windows-like manner. Installers, with the extension ".pbi", are downloaded from the PC-BSD website. The user just double-clicks them to run the installer and install the program.
