Simply put, "wrong." I have a infomagic CD from Sept 92 containing 0.1 386BSD. The documentation contains infomation on the 0.0 code and shows it dating back to 1989. Next time check your info please. I have no knowledge on Linux of this time. I had never even heard of Linux until 0.8 and I heard it was horrible and not a full systems, this was when I was running a full system of 386BSD 0.1.
