Peter's work dislike that Linux is not huge part of it. Or more
importantly that it was the emergence of the Internet and UNIX that were
enablers for Linux. As Jon has suggested, it should not be Gnu/Linux
but rather Internet/Linux.
Indeed, and not a few Linux users hate it being pointed out that Unix was
first. If it was not for Unix, we would not have Linux (because you had
to pay for Unix).
And my pet theory is that if it was not for Unix, we would all be running
some version of Windoze, and loving it...
