On the other hand if it wasn't for Linus and his kernel we could
still be waiting for Hurd to be useful. For some reason the GNU/Linux
system took hold of people's imagination when the other unix clones
based on the BSD variants didn't.
I know I looked at using Coherent but when Linux came along it didn't
stand a chance - cos Coherent cost money, not a lot but more than
Linux.
