The Strange Birth and Long Life of Unix


I don't know if this link is a public link, but I think it is. A short, six page story about the life and times of Unix.

Great article. Even though I was aware of a lot of those details, the early part of the Unix history is particularly interesting as was the intentions of the original creators.

Great article. Don't know how I missed that one. I will link that article in SlackwareŽ-Links.

Again, Thanks!
