     {Unix" rel="nofollow">family of {Unix versions for the DEC VAX and PDP-11 developed by
     Bill Joy and others at Berzerkeley starting around 1977, incorporating
     paged virtual memory, TCP/IP networking enhancements, and many other
     features. The BSD versions (4.1, 4.2, and 4.3) and the commercial
     versions derived from them (SunOS, ULTRIX, and Mt. Xinu) held the
     technical lead in the Unix world until AT&T's successful standardization
     efforts after about 1986; descendants including Free/Open/NetBSD, BSD/OS
     and MacOS X are still widely popular. Note that BSD versions going back
     to 2.9 are often referred to by their version numbers alone, without the
     4.2,+and+{Unix" rel="nofollow">BSD prefix. See 4.2, and {Unix.
