Basically, Tanenbaum posted something to comp.os.minix that "Linux was
obsolete" because it used a monolithic kernel. He went on to say that Linus
would have failed his OS class, etc., etc. Linus flamed him back. Since
then, Linux has gone on to arguably greater real-world success then anything
Tanenbaum ever came up with, which I'm sure irks him to no end. :-)
