After 22 years, Lynne Jolitz, one of the developers of the 386BSD operating system, released 2 updates to it. It's what we say, good things come late.
386BSD . was released in 1994 along with a series of articles in Dr. Dobb's Journal, but its developers subsequently abandoned it to focus on FreeBSD and NetBSD. The last known public release of 386BSD was 0.1
That is until Wednesday, when Lynne Jolitz, one of the 386BSD developers, released the source code for version 1.0, as well as 2.0, to Github.
For our romantic readers, 386BSD takes us back to the days when it was important to be able to count, read, and understand the source code of every file in a Unix distribution. 386BSD is also the connecting link between BSD and Linux. One can find pieces of Linus Torvalds' mathematical emulation code in the 386BSD source code.
386BSD is designed for Intel 80386 microprocessors. If you don't have any such machine lying around in your attic to start playing with, then you can find instructions for running it in the network hardware virtual environment Qemu.
