"Programming Perl" (which, incidentally contains the best definition of
BSD I've ever read) also calls it "Berkeley Standard Distribution" but
I've read books that suggest "Berkeley Systems Distribution" is the
authoritative name.  It seems the only part they can really agree on is
the "Berkeley" bit.
