UNIX Culture
24 May 2003
Biella, anthropologist of the free(software) world, says that the never-ending battles over UNIX are what happen when this thing, is at once a commercial product, a tool, a teaching method, a techno-philosophical paradigm, a collective adventure, and cultural heritage…. A huge fascinating muck.
Personally, I’ve enjoyed every bit of this collective adventure, though most of mine has been after the lawesuit that produced 4.4BSD Lite.
