“There are two major products that came from Berkeley: LSD and Unix. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.”
Unix came from Bell Labs in the East Coast. Californian Unix is just a non-elegant derivative, in my opinion (e.g. BSD sockets don't follow the "Unix philosophy", and one explanation could be the LSD, I agree with that).

- patrickg_zill 12y agoCould you maybe expand on your thoughts of BSD sockets vs. what SVR4 came up with?
- faragon 12y agoWell, BSD sockets don't use file abstraction. Plan 9 recovered "Unix philosophy" in that regard. In my opinion.
