nope. it's a pretty SysV-ish sort of thing. hp was one of the first ( if
not the first ) licencee of SysVR4 once the licensing issues got raised.

the most BSD-ish commercial OS's that i am aware of are sunOS 4.4, dec
ultrix and BSDI

the fact that FreeBSD felt more like DEC ultrix than linux did was the
reason that i picked FreeBSD in the first place, because it meant that i
didnt have to go to the academic computing center to get work done. this
was back in '93
