look, Ma one of the biggest Wintel names sez this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Linux before Linux
Here, then, was a full featured, cost-free implementation of Unix,
available in 1988. In some senses, BSD was the Linux _before Linux.
If it hadn't been for a bit of bad luck for BSD, then this might be a
book about BSD, and you'd never have heard about Linux.
Come to think of it, if there had been a reliable, inexpensive, 32-bit
version of Unix without any fear of lawsuits in 1988, you might have
never even heard of _NT. But that didn't happen.

That Mr M&M himself, and he is definitely not a *nix advocacy
group subscriber.
