I think that is more a product of its time than the software. It isn't the first openly available Unix-like OS. The others such as UZI and OMU died because there wasn't the internet in its modern form to keep them going, share them and build communities. - 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/
