  Open Sources:  Voices from the

  Open Source Revolution

If You are interested further as this episodes and shownotes are a very stripped down version of the work of Dr Marshall Kirk Mckusick´s notes and presentations Please consider purchasing His DVD of the History Of Berkeley Software Distributions from which this episode excerpts its facts and figures and historical recounting.
It is a near 4 hours long 2 parts presentation which recounts the History of BSD from the early days and another lecture about the Modern FreeBSD. It is great fun to watch and own and definitely a better recount of the events with many fun facts and personality as I could ever do myself.
