When linux was first released, I remember people being surprised that GNU 
(which was still claiming to be working on at least two kernels) had 
*competition*.  I also remember when the core linux hackers thought that 386BSD 
was going to `win' (in the end-days of ``all the world's a VAX'', that must 
have seemed comforting), and that they really only needed to survive long 
enough for that to happen.  Computing history is a funny place.
