4.3 BSD follows 4.2 BSD, with TCP/IP networking, an improved filesystem, in -Tahoe, partial cross-platform capability, and in -Reno, a significant move toward POSIX compliance. This is a favourite with hobbyists, as being open source there are no licencing concerns and the tape data is freely available online, and it runs very well in SIMH.
What Runs?
4.3 BSD-Reno includes a large amount of POSIX which dramatically improves compatibility with many modern and older *nix packages. A lot of people don't like -Reno as its embracing of POSIX is rather treasonous to the BSD ideal. So what compiles on 4.3 BSD-Tahoe or its maintained version, -Quasijarus?
- gcc-2.8.1x see ftp://ifctfvax.harhan.org/pub/unix/apps/gcc
- perl 4! I haven't really tried hard enough to get perl 5 to compile, might work with gcc...
- pdksh - right out of the box! http://www.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/
- a lot of software from that era, including early versions of many GNU programs, (emacs-18!) and so on
