Still with all it's flaws, on the 286 and later
UNIX actually did run in
protected mode, something it took ages for DOS/Windows (one can argue
backwards compatibility with the early processors) or Apple (no excuse
here, the early Macs were 68000's which had protection) to pick up upon.
The original Mac 128K was a 68000 processor, and IIRC memory protection
didn't arrive until the 68020.

So raise the penguin banner of / The Linux-nationale. --Greg Baker
