Berkeley Software Distribution

The Berkeley Software Distribution or Berkeley Standard Distribution (BSD) is a discontinued operating system based on Research Unix, developed and distributed by the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) at the University of California, Berkeley.

See PicoBSD and Berkeley Software Distribution

Central processing unit

A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer.

See PicoBSD and Central processing unit

Comparison of BSD operating systems

There are a number of Unix-like operating systems based on or descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) series of Unix variant options.

See PicoBSD and Comparison of BSD operating systems

Dial-up Internet access

Dial-up Internet access is a form of Internet access that uses the facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to establish a connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) by dialing a telephone number on a conventional telephone line.

See PicoBSD and Dial-up Internet access

Diskless node

A diskless node (or diskless workstation) is a workstation or personal computer without disk drives, which employs network booting to load its operating system from a server.

See PicoBSD and Diskless node

EEPROM

EEPROM or E2PROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is a type of non-volatile memory.

See PicoBSD and EEPROM

Firewall (computing)

In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.

See PicoBSD and Firewall (computing)

Flash memory

Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer memory storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.

See PicoBSD and Flash memory

Floppy disk

A floppy disk or floppy diskette (casually referred to as a floppy, a diskette, or a disk) is a type of disk storage composed of a thin and flexible disk of a magnetic storage medium in a square or nearly square plastic enclosure lined with a fabric that removes dust particles from the spinning disk.

See PicoBSD and Floppy disk

FreeBSD

FreeBSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). PicoBSD and FreeBSD are Lightweight Unix-like systems.

See PicoBSD and FreeBSD

Hard disk drive

A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material.

See PicoBSD and Hard disk drive

Home automation

Home automation or domotics is building automation for a home.

See PicoBSD and Home automation

I386

The Intel 386, originally released as 80386 and later renamed i386, is a 32-bit microprocessor designed by Intel.

See PicoBSD and I386

Operating system

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

See PicoBSD and Operating system

Random-access memory

Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code.

See PicoBSD and Random-access memory

Router (computing)

A router is a computer and networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks, including internetworks such as the global Internet.

See PicoBSD and Router (computing)

Source code

In computing, source code, or simply code or source, is a plain text computer program written in a programming language.

See PicoBSD and Source code
