MirOS BSD (the original name MirBSD is deprecated) is a free operating system, which started as a fork of OpenBSD 3.1 in August 2002. It is intended to maintain the security of OpenBSD - from which it frequently synchronises code updates - with better support for European localisation. Since then it has also incorporated code from other free BSD descendants, including FreeBSD, NetBSD and MicroBSD. Code from MirOS BSD has also been incorporated into ekkoBSD. One of the projects goals is to port the MirOS to run on the Linux kernel, hence the deprecation of MirBSD in favor of MirOS.

See the UNIX History at http://www.levenez.com/unix/ for a graph of the development and pedigree of MirBSD and most other UNIX derivatives and UNIX-like operating systems.
