: I think that we deserve at least a branch on the history of unix :)

: At any rate, I just send him e-mail so will see what he has to say,

:
	I saw the article also, but have not had time to follow-up.
	However, I beleive that his slant no the story was based
	on commercial versions of UNIX.  Hence, the non-mention
	about **bsd and Linux, Minix and otheres... although
	he did not mention Coherent... maybe cause they don't
	advertise.
