Who's your daddy: OS X Family Tree

Somtimes, the biggest news of the day is something you haven't thought of in years. In this case the blast from the past came up in an NYCBUG discussion, and it was Éric Lévénez's comprehensive Unix history. Regularly updated since sometime in 1986, the history is one of those rare jewels of the early internet that is still relevant today. Unix geeks can see where and when the various branches of the chaotic family tree were forked. Fans of OS X and other modern unices can trace their roots all the way back to Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson's original 1973 Unix Time-Sharing System and beyond: Lévénez officially starts the tree with Thompson's 1969 UNICS project. It's an interesting look at the more than 35 years of development an experience that have gone into the most recent Tiger releases.
