Linux was developed to run on the PC. The internet was open to the average Joe in the early 90s. How many people had "developer level" access to VAXen, and/or the internet, as well as enough time on both to acutally use these to work on a pet project in the early 80s? What about the overall number of hackers in the early 80s, as compared to the early 90s? What about the economy of the early 80s as compared to the economy of the early 90s? -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
