I think that's going a bit far. We'd be using BSD, or a commercial Unix like Solaris. Mercurial, SVN, and god forbid even CVS would still work for most projects.
- rejschaap 8y agoProbably not Mercurial, from Wikipedia: "BitKeeper had been used for the version control requirements of the Linux kernel project. Mackall decided to write a distributed version control system as a replacement for use with the Linux kernel."
- davidgould 8y agoWe'd all be using Windows NT. Well, y'all would, I'd have become a mechanic or chef or something. Seriously, in the dim days of the early 90's it seemed like the overpricing and fragmentation of the various Unix vendors would hand the mid-size and small systems space to NT. Which was all part of Microsoft's plan. The BSDs were themselves too factionalized to be a credible alternative. The Unix wars were winding down and NT was winning. Linux not only blocked NT's takeover of the data center it also ended the Unix wars and ultimately destroyed the market for incompatible Unixes.
