  386BSD

  jolix
  
     <operating system> (Or "jolix /joh'liks/) A free software
     port originally derived from the generally available parts
     of the "Berkeley Net Release/2" to the Intel i386
     architecture by William Jolitz and friends.  The name Jolix is
     used to differentiate it from BSDI's port based on the same
     source tape, which is called BSD/386.
  
     Many new and innovative features were added to 386BSD
     following its original release in June 1992.  An unofficial
     patchkit, available from many anonymous FTP archives,
     solves many of the problems associated with 386BSD Version
     0.1.  In addition, many common Unix packages have been ported.
  
     386BSD has been superseded by FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
