Ignore History, And Someone's Bound To Repeat It

It's hard to believe anyone could seriously propose that Linus didn't create Linux. There must still be archives out there with his original Usenet posts on the subject. It was only ten years ago.

All you have to do to create something like Linux is to try to build an operating system that does what Unix does, and con a bunch of folks into writing it. This, essentially, is what Linus did. Do you suppose AdTI have heard of the POSIX specification?
