Hi all..  I have a few survey-ish questions to ask...

What operating systems available today currently use BSD as a base?
What version of BSD are they based on, and how much do they deviate
from BSD?  Were there any vendor extensions?  SysV extensions?  Did the
vendor take any BSDisms out?

I'm only concerned with user-level commands, including system
administration commands and the like.

I realize that this is a pretty broad range of questions.  I'm
expecting pretty board answers back -- I don't need to know anything
_too_ overly specific.

Please repl via e-mail, and I'll post a summary if I get a good number
of replies.

Thanks,

Bryan (buus@spica.bu.edu)
