I am collecting reading materials for people who are new to Linux/Unix but want to learn. A few years ago I ran across a really good essay about why Linux works, the spirit, the community, the theories of Unix, etc. It really pulled it all together. And now I can't for the life of me remember where it was. I really should have been keeping a list of such things but I already bookmark so much and rarely refer back to much of it. But occasionally there is that 1% that I do refer back to and I am glad I bookmarked or curse myself that I didn't.
So I'm putting together a list of classic/really good essays about the spirit and implementation of Linux/Unix and FOSS etc. Suitable for a newbie to the scene. No ACM papers please.
