'''BSD/OS''' is a [[Proprietary software|proprietary]] [[Unix]] [[operating system]] first released in 1993 as '''BSD/386'''. It was originally developed and sold by [[Berkeley Software Design]], Inc. (BSDi) and designed to be a [[Unix]] for [[Intel 386|386]]-based [[IBM PC–compatible|PCs]]. It was built off the Net/2 distribution of [[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]], on which the developers had previously contributed to.<ref name=":0">{{Cite magazine |last=Levitt |first=Jason |last2=Schuman |first2=Evan |date=June 22, 1992 |title=For BSD Unix, It's Sayonara |url=https://www.tech-insider.org/unix/research/1992/0622.html |magazine=Open Systems Today}}</ref>

Eventually the operating system was also ported to support [[PowerPC]] and [[SPARC]] architectures, and consequently was retitled to BSD/OS as of version 2.0 (1995). In 2001, BSDi sold the rights of the OS to [[Wind River Systems]] who developed and released version 5.0 in 2003 before discontinuing the product.
