Haha, this chart has been hanging in my office for a few years. Didn't know it was a big deal (http://www.levenez.com/wall), but i'll have to send in a pic. I also have the following quote on there, don't remember where it got it, and can't say that it's true, but it's funny:
"Multics was actually the predecessor to UNIX. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie started working on UNIX when Bell Labs dropped out of Multics development in 1969. The term "Unix" is attributed to Brian Kernighan, and is a pun on Multics and eunuch, basically meaning Unix is 'Multics without balls'..." -ray On Mon, 19 May 2003, Will Lowe wrote: > If you want to see how crazy all this is look at this chart of Unix history. > If a good lawyer can get OJ off then one ought to be able to prove that no > one even owns Unix much less Linux. <Grin> > > http://www.levenez.com/unix/ > > Will Lowe > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dustin Puryear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, May 19, 2003 3:12 PM > Subject: Re: [brlug-general] I knew Gates had to be involved... > > > > At 02:59 PM 5/19/2003 -0500, you wrote: > > >On 2003.05.19 14:10 Tim Fournet wrote: > > > > If it were BSD, then it would even be scarier, as code from the BSD > > > > kernel could have been copied and placed in tons of closed-source apps > > > > by now--really giving SCO cause to go on a witch hunt. > > >You don't think this case has anything to do with reality, do you?
