Unix/Linux or not didn't matter for Y2K, the problems were in software elsewhere and that was as major in Unix/Linux as anywhere else (the systems I was fixing at the time were based on both Unix and Linux). (When I was way younger I ran into a software problem where the company providing the software did all date calculations by adding up dates, months, years and.. not getting it right. Between Christmas and New Year something bad always happened. I was working night shifts at the time, and the software was part of locating emergency transmitters, mainly at sea.. when those systems went down it was pretty critical. The first thing I mandated when I got any say in things back then was that all time calculations should be done by adding up seconds.. not dates. Oh well. Fun times)
