[TUHS] 3 essays on the ujnix legacy

> Speaking as someone who was working on Linux from the beginning (I was the first North American Linux kernel hacker, and the first US FTP redistribution site for Linux was my desktop workstation at MIT (a Vaxstation 3100 M38 running Ultrix), I never agreed with ESR's model either, and I agree that Mr. Garcia's graph is also... not reflective of reality.

I gave my little book report to the class. Somewhere in the room, a
throat cleared. And then Ted Tso began to speak...

What can I say? I once read a literary criticism of Conrad’s Nostromo
titled Record and Reality by Edward Said, about how the stories we
tell about events eventually diverge from how they actually happened.
I think that’s what happened here too. I told the record, and then
reality showed up.

Thank you, Ted. I stand corrected on many things.
