Some very long, and pointless, arguments can be had about which was _first_. Lets talk about something more interesting - which ones are still usable :) I do recall that Motorola Computer Group was very very unhappy that an Alpha from DEC arrived for Linus before their PowerStack. Maybe you can compare who shipped a machine to Linus first, then compare which was powered on and so on.
I believe Linus only re-did the Alpha port. It was first done inside DEC. They should get credit for getting on the Linux bandwagon early on.

Those } weren't started by Linus, though. - 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/
