MicroBSD
MicroBSD is a fork of the [[UNIX-like]] and [[BSD]] [[operating system]] descendant [[OpenBSD]] 3.0, which started in July 2002.

==The new MicroBSD project==

The new MicroBSD project tries to continue, what the the old MicroBSD project (see beyond) started. They cleaned up the source code and released version 0.6 again in October [[2003]] with all wrong copyright statements corrected. The 0.7 beta version is deviated from [[OpenBSD]] 3.4.

MicroBSD is currently developed by individuals from [[Bulgaria]]. This new distribution will have a focus on security, user interface and easy setup and also add specific Bulgarian [[localization]]. 

The new MicroBSD project has it's website at http://www.microbsd.net/

==The old MicroBSD project==

Apperantly, the old (initial) MicroBSD project paid not enough attention to adapting all the [[OpenBSD]] code appropriately for a [[fork]], especially regarding copyright statements and developer names. For example, the welcome email, which was send to the installer after a successful installation, claimed to come from "[[Theo de Raadt]], founder of the MicroBSD project", although Theo de Raadt is the founder of the OpenBSD project, which suggests that a simple search and replace was made. Probalbly the same search and replace made them claim, that the MicroBSD project members are the developers of [[OpenSSH]], which is developed by the OpenBSD project...

The mentioned [[email]] template seems to have been the the last straw that breaks the camel's back and the old MicroBSD project does not exist anymore (it was located at microbsd.com), but code from it has been incorporated into the [[MirBSD]] project.

The last release of the old MicroBSD project was version 0.6 in October [[2002]]. See the [[UNIX]] History at http://www.levenez.com/unix/ for a graph of the short lifedevelopment of this project.
