MINIX is the anti-GNU in terms of bloat. It uses subminiture versions of all the tools. A lot of care was take to avoid use of printf() when write() would do. It's the dollhouse of UNIXes; runs on an 8088.
Seems that people's posts are missing an important detail. RMS does not use any proprietary software to do anything ever. For instance there was a long time when he could not browse the web. He does this because he believes that he cannot stand for Free Software and use proprietary software at the same time.
Any projects which are moved into BitKeeper become unavailable to him. This is why the idea of a Free Software project in a proprietary version control system would really bother him.

I really felt a FreeBSD 4.6.2 box I maintain was getting bit by that bug. The interface would just drop dead with a few kernel messages about it croaking.

Seems to me that's at least three supported versions.
FreeBSD 4.3 RELEASE was done April 21, 2001. Last patch was done 13 months after that. You could still use it if you used OpenSSL, OpenSSH, BIND, etc. from the ports tree.
IRIX isn't what killed SGI for us.

What killed SGI for us was their hideous treatment of customers. We had some SGI boxes with 10-Base T as web servers in the past. When we went to look at a 100-Base T card we discovered that all SGI wanted to do was to sell us new boxes. They priced then network card around $6000.
Eventually the owner tried to change the DNS server for the site, as technical contact I blocked it. They tried again, I blocked it. They tried to change the technical contact. I let them!
I looked into the law covering such an action and realized that I could be prosecuted for doing it. Unauthorized access to a computer system and unauthorized modification of data are illegal.
Uh, in what way was blocking their modifications not unauthorized access to a computer system?

Not one mention of the fxp bug fixes in the release notes.
Look at Revision 1.110.2.24 of if_fxp.c
MFC 1.136
Where 1.136 is "fix handling of RNR conditions when using polling"

Only the X11 source set is larger than the GNU set. Maybe it is GNU/NetBSD.
and it's just so straightforward too!
DRM is useless if the user can turn it off.
Unless the software will not function at all without DRM active.
If matter and energy are different aspects of the same thing how can a true vacuum have energy in it?
