BSD is a 'true' unix distribution where as Linux is a unix like operating system. Linux was written originally as a free response to Unix. It has since evolved into a vast number of projects. | |||

When we say "linux" we mean the Linux kernel developed by Linus Torvalds and the GNU userland developed by the FSF ( Free Software Foundation ) Linux is a Unix clone. BSD - lets talk about FreeBSD ( what I am going to say holds true more or less about the other BSD's as well ) - FreeBSD is developed as one operating system. The kernel + libs +userland are maintained together in a single source code control system ( CVS ) BSD is one of the original Unices but ( confusingly ) cannot be called Unix as that is trademark.
