Very remiss of me, I failed to Consult the Oracle first: Peter Salus' "Quarter Century of Unix", 1994 [ pre Linux ]

There have been a number of interesting articles on Unix and Unix-like systems in the quarterly Computing Systems, including

Idris 		Plauger’s Unix-like system
MINIX 		Unix-like system invented by Andy Tanenbaum
