Welcome to introduction to the FreeBSD. Open-source
operating system, live lessons. I am dr. Marshall Kirk mckusick.
I earned an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University,
at the University of California at Berkeley. I earned a master's degree in
Business Administration and a PhD in computer science at
Berkeley. I worked with Bill Joy, on the early releases of the Berkeley software distribution
generally, just shortened to BSD. I took over managing the
BSD project when Bill left.
Who found Sun Microsystems the BSD project at Berkeley finished Ten Years
After I took over with the release of a freely redistributable open-source distribution
called 4.4, BSD light several open source
project started based on the 4.4, BSD Light release
including FreeBSD netbsd and openbsd
following the final release of 4.4 BSD light. I left
the university to become a self-employed consultant. I work with companies that base
products on FreeBSD in addition.
To my Consulting business. I am a member of the board of directors of the FreeBSD Foundation. A
501 c, 3 organization that raises money to support the FreeBSD
project. I am an author of four books, about the BSD Colonel,
the first to describe the 4.3 BSD and the 4.4, BSD
releases from Berkeley. The two most recent books describe the FreeBSD
kernel. This course, is an overview of a 15-week class that I teach
based on the most recent book, the second edition of the design and implementation of the
FreeBSD operating.
