No, it was the fact that Linux has always been able to run on garbage. My introduction to Linux was in 1995 when I was given a network of computers made out of back-laboratory garbage and US$0 software budget and told to make it work. None of the BSDs could cut it, but Linux could. User space Unix tool rewrites all of which I could have gotten from *BSD had absolutely nothing to do with it. I doubt that I am typical. -sb - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
