ako nista onda zbog GNU projekta

BSD stands for ``Berkeley Software Distribution''. It is the name of distributions of source code from the University of California, Berkeley, which were originally extensions to AT&T's Research UNIX operating system. Several open source operating system projects are based on a release of this source code known as 4.4BSD-Lite. In addition, they comprise a number of packages from other Open Source projects, including notably the GNU project. The overall operating system comprises:

* The BSD kernel, which handles process scheduling, memory management, symmetric multi-processing (SMP), device drivers, etc.

Unlike the Linux kernel, there are several different BSD kernels with differing capabilities.
* The C library, the base API for the system.

The BSD C library is based on code from Berkeley, not the GNU project.
* Utilities such as shells, file utilities, compilers and linkers.

Some of the utilities are derived from the GNU project, others are not.
* The X Window system, which handles graphical display

The X Window system used in most versions of BSD is maintained by a separate project, the XFree86 project. This is the same code as Linux uses. BSD does not normally specify a ``graphical desktop'' such as GNOME or KDE, though these are available.
* Many other programs and utilities

So what's really the difference between, say, Debian Linux and FreeBSD? For the average user, the difference is surprisingly small: Both are UNIX-like operating systems. Both are developed by non-commercial projects (this doesn't apply to many other Linux distributions, of course)

BSD koristi razne GNU alate....
BSd sam stavio d ne bi neko rekao "a sto nema BSD?"(posto se uvek neko pametan nadje da sere kako anketa ne valja)...

a sta fali knopix opciji?? pa koliko znam to je najkoriscenija live distribucija(jes debian based ali ) .... jer cisto sumnjam daneko koristi live disc od slackware-a?
jer sto ga ne bi instalirao...

ako nista onda zbog GNU projekta

i prestani da me konstantno prozivas

ne po nekom projektu iz kojeg jedan od njih nije ni nastao, a drugi jeste

Proprietary software is software that is not free or semi-free. Its use, redistribution or modification is prohibited, or requires you to ask for permission, or is restricted so much that you effectively can't do it freely.

The Free Software Foundation follows the rule that we cannot install any proprietary program on our computers except temporarily for the specific purpose of writing a free replacement for that very program. Aside from that, we feel there is no possible excuse for installing a proprietary program.

For example, we felt justified in installing Unix on our computer in the 1980s, because we were using it to write a free replacement for Unix. Nowadays, since free operating systems are available, the excuse is no longer applicable; we have eliminated all our non-free operating systems, and any new computer we install must run a completely free operating system.

We don't insist that users of GNU, or contributors to GNU, have to live by this rule. It is a rule we made for ourselves. But we hope you will decide to follow it too.
