MicroBSD
MicroBSD is a fork of the UNIX-like and BSD operating system descendant OpenBSD 3.0, which started in July 2002.
The new MicroBSD project
The new MicroBSD project tries to continue, what the old MicroBSD project (see beyond) started. They cleaned up the source code and released version 0.6 again in October 2003 with all wrong copyright statements corrected. The 0.7 beta version is deviated from OpenBSD 3.4.
MicroBSD is currently developed by individuals from Bulgaria. This new distribution will have a focus on security, user interface and easy setup and also add specific Bulgarian localization.
The new MicroBSD project has it's website at http://www.microbsd.net/
The old MicroBSD project
Apparently, the old (initial) MicroBSD project paid not enough attention to adapting all the OpenBSD code appropriately for a fork, especially regarding copyright statements and developer names. For example, the welcome email, which was send to the installer after a successful installation, claimed to come from "Theo de Raadt, founder of the MicroBSD project", although Theo de Raadt is the founder of the OpenBSD project, which suggests that a simple search and replace was made. Probably the same search and replace made them claim, that the MicroBSD project members are the developers of OpenSSH, which is developed by the OpenBSD project...
The mentioned email template seems to have been the last straw that breaks the camel's back and the old MicroBSD project does not exist anymore (it was located at microbsd.com), but code from it has been incorporated into the MirBSD project.
The last release of the old MicroBSD project was version 0.6 in October 2002. See the UNIX history for a graph of the development of this project.
