IIRC, Linux posted his kernel in 1991 and the SFS already had a bunch of GNU software but by 1994 there was so much noise you would need a microscope to see Linux on any radar screen. IBM was spendinga about $100 million on advertising OS/2 and Microsoft was probably spending 3-4 times that on Chicago( over a year later called Windows 95 ). Linux and GNU were there alright, just too deep in the noise floor for many to have a clue they where there.
