In my humble-but-correct opinion*, Linux and its
origins fit into the general topic of UNIX history
just as well as those of Research UNIX or BSD or
SVr4.2.2.2.2.2.2.2 or SunOS or IRIX or Ultrix or
Tru64-compaqted-HPSauce or whatever. It all stems
from the same roots, despite the protestations of
purists from all sides.
Warren gets final say, of course, but to encourage
him I will say: Ploooogie!

enjoy overusing.
