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.
