(Or "jolix /joh'liks/) A free softwareport originally derived from the generally available partsof the "Berkeley Net Release/2" to the Intel i386architecture by William Jolitz and friends. The name Jolix isused to differentiate it from BSDI's port based on the samesource tape, which is called BSD/386.Many new and innovative features were added to 386BSDfollowing its original release in June 1992.
