In some senses, BSD was the Linux _before Linux. If it hadn't been for a bit of bad luck for BSD, then this might be a book about BSD, and you'd never have heard about Linux. Come to think of it, if there had been a reliable, inexpensive, 32-bit version of Unix without any fear of lawsuits in 1988, you might have never even heard of _NT. But that didn't happen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ISBN: 0-7821-2730-4.
