Sorry for the beginner question but can one guess what OS this is from the named folder in the structure?

I was not allowed to post the picture but perhaps the link works. (have no text-based img).

Super-mysterious Operating System...

    This being a relevant question because? – andol Aug 03 '14 at 17:05
  • So a question about this as to what "operatingsystem" the folders in the structure hints at is not a question to ask at this forum? Being visited by both BSD and LINUX people it should be a simple question needing a quick response? Do you not know the OS? I think it is as the person wrote being "FreeBSD" but this is to settle a discussion and we needed some external input. – AnotherPerson Aug 03 '14 at 17:06

    This isn't a forum. Also, boot the system and run uname -r. – Falcon Momot Aug 03 '14 at 17:07
  • Yes, that folder structure do look FreeBSD:ish to me too. Still don't see why we would like to play that guessing-game. – andol Aug 03 '14 at 17:09
  • I do not have access to the system (and the picture is obviously from a windows machine) we have a .tar.gz from a system and we want to know is it linux or bsd? From the folder structure depicted in the image above. If it is a question for this or any other "forum" I think is up to the moderators and not a discussion for the comment section don't you agree? – AnotherPerson Aug 03 '14 at 17:10

    Definitely some unix variant. Most of the directories you'd expect to find on a Linux system, but not all of them. Filenames in `boot` as well as the presence of any `etc/*-release` files could provide additional hints. – kasperd Aug 03 '14 at 17:13
  • Is this a homework problem of some type? – mdpc Aug 04 '14 at 03:14

Weird question.

It's probably FreeBSD, based on the /etc/devd and /etc/boot/zfs presence.
