iXsystems

The company was formed by the merger of Walnut Creek CDROM with Berkeley Software Design (BSDI) in 2000 in order to focus more engineering effort on the similar BSD Unix operating systems FreeBSD and BSD/OS. The new company was known by the name Berkeley Software Design. Soon after it acquired Telenet System Solutions, Inc., an Internet infrastructure server supplier. [1]

In 2001, it sold its software business unit (BSD/OS, FreeBSD, Slackware) to Wind River Systems and renamed itself iXsystems, with plans to specialize in hardware. The FreeBSD unit was divested as a separate entity, in 2002 as FreeBSD Mall, Inc.[2] Slackware Linux was spun off as the Slackware Linux Store.[3] Faced with competition from the open source FreeBSD and Linux-based operating systems, Wind River discontinued BSD/OS in December 2003. However, by this time some technology from BSD/OS had been contributed to the open source BSD community.[4]

iXsystems' server business was acquired in 2002 by Offmyserver, which reverted to the iXsystems name in 2005.[5]

It seems like the company iXsystems at the end is only Telenet System Solutions, Inc., until it becomes OffMyServer... the current company is OffMyServer renamed. 76.66.195.159 (talk) 09:10, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
