At home I have an old 'advanced UNIX programming' book
(from a openu course), and it mentions the most important
flavours of UNIX. Linux is not mentioned, (too early) but
Xenix is. The funny thing is that the author says that
Xenix will probably become one of the most important
versions, because it will run on a simple PC and is backed
by microsoft and IBM (or something). very funny to read
that in retrospect :)
