FreeBSD Celebrating Its 30th Anniversary
https://www.phoronix.com/news/FreeBSD-30th-Birthday
It was on 19 June 1993 that the FreeBSD name was chosen for the project born out of 386BSD. The first official release of FreeBSD though wasn’t until November 1993.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large community.
