1.15 philen 111: McKusick, Bostic and Karels are well known as prime movers at

125: The Jolitzes built the first port of BSD to the PC-386 architecture,
126: and deserve a lot of credit for making BSD portable to this low-cost
127: architecture. The earliest versions, called "386bsd", were described

260: claims that "After 20 years, this is still the best exposition

406: It is common to find that masters of mysterious technical arts are poor communicators. Bruce Schneier
