I have always wondered where this flaming against unix has
come from.
When I met unix on PDP-11/24 (UNIX v6) it run happily with
256 kb memory from 2 10Mb harddisks system taking up 64kb.
And up to 8 users were ableto use it. It wasn't too monstrous
then and I think that it hasn't grown too much since then.
I remember when OS/2 debate started and they say that UNIX
is out because it is too big and heavy, but the knowledge
from OS/2 I have tells me that it isn't any smaller or lighter.
So I wanna know:
What is so monstrous in UNIX?
