To muddy the waters a bit:
SunOS 4.x (aka Solaris 1) is BSD. Some other commercial UNIXes are BSD
derived. However, its too early for me to care about remembering which ones.
You _CAN_ strip the BSD kernel from BSD and run it with a linux dist. See:
http://www.debian.org/ports/netbsd/ for more info.
