"The original version of MOSIX, called MOS, was compatible with UNIX Version 7. It was developed in 1982 for a cluster of PDP-11 computers..." [quote from MOSIX paper by Barak and Wheeler in the Winter 1989 USENIX proceedings]
MOSIX also ran on VAX, NS32K, and M68K UNIX systems along the way.

Hmmm. I sent private email to Sengan about the domain name squabble. I did not expect to have my name broadcast so prominently, when I post followup comments to slashdot, I just call myself trb. I am not the Minix guy, and neither of our names is spelled Tannebaum. I'm Andrew Tannenbaum, I've been hacking UNIX for over 20 years, I was more active on the net/usenet before it got so crowded. The Minix guy is Andrew S. Tanenbaum. We both worked at Bell Labs at the same time around 1980, and the mailroom found it somewhat confusing. If want to be ambiguous in a different way, call me trb.
Torvalds, 29, is the creator of Linux, a software operating system that has increased its market share
212% in the past year.
212% of what? From 100 sites to 312? very impressive. (obviously not, but the statistic is useless).
Linux now runs on some of the most heavily used computers in the world, including research computers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and
scores of Web servers around the world.
Scores? what, 60 sites? 80? An accurate number here would have helped too.
