Historically that's true.
But reading Eric Raymond's The Art of Unix Programming I realized that at the moment the Unix family and the Windows family are the only realistic OS's left.
And pardon me for saying so, but the Unices covered in thick crusts of 30 years of sediments.
If I login to my Linux box with a shell it doesn't recognize (Interix) it asks me to specify my terminal type. WTF, why not ask me what kind of punch cards I'd like to send?
From ESR's book I understood that some people are carrying on the BeOS open-source.
Which should be interesting since it was built completely anew.
Does anybody have any experience with this? Is it alive and kicking?
