Linux vs BSDLinux vs BSDPosted Nov 20, 2011 20:23 UTC (Sun) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458)In reply to: Linux vs BSD by mjg59 Parent article: Interview with Andrew Tanenbaum (LinuxFr.org)
Linus himself said in 1993 that if 386BSD had come out before (0.0 came out in 1992) Linux would never have happened. I did compare roughly contemporary MCC and 386BSD versions from the 1992-1993 timeframe, and 386BSD sure was a much more polished system. I was using 4.1 BSD during my PhD studies in 19984 to 1987, it wasn't exactly a long shot imagining porting most of that to a PC in the starting 1990s. But the lawsuits and concurrent assorted wild claims of infringement did make people somewhat nervous about ending up stranded with BSD, and so looked around for alternatives.
