"So there you have it: The single Greatest Piece of Software Ever, with
the broadest impact on the world, was BSD 4.3. Other Unixes were bigger
commercial successes. But as the cumulative accomplishment of the BSD
systems, 4.3 represented an unmatched peak of innovation. BSD 4.3
represents the single biggest theoretical undergirder of the Internet.
Moreover, the passion that surrounds Linux and open source code is a
direct offshoot of the ideas that created BSD: a love for the power of
computing and a belief that it should be a freely available extension of
man's intellectual powers--a force that changes his place in the universe."
Something to say to the linux-thugs who believe that linux is _THE_
perfect operating system!
