Title: What is a BSD? Why should I care?

With all the focus on Linux a whole family of operating systems get's pushed to the side. That is the BSD family, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and DragonFly. We'll cover a brief history, delve into how these differ from Linux, what do they bring from a security perspective and describe where they're buried in current platforms.
