Aside from the for(;;) wait(0); loop, there’s little in common between the 
Linux and, say, BSD implementations of init, especially in recent versions.

The name for the process whose PID is one has been around for a long time, but 
Linux has had three or four wildly different implementations over its short 
life.

Linux is not Unix.  It provides a Posix interface just like The *BSDs, Darwin 
and OpenVMS do, but don’t make the mistake of assuming that they have anything 
much in common.

The everything-is-a-file paradigm does not apply to everything in Linux by a 
long way; if you want to follow that then I suggest you look to Plan9.
