Pictured is the router which sent the 1st internet connection from NYC to Tokyo. These were sold out of a basement office of a home in Rahway NJ. It's signed by everyone who worked for Cisco Systems in 1989. It was given to my dad when he retired in 1999 for his work in establishing the internet.Submitted by TriggerTough t3_10kdpgl in newjersey

It's really not though. It shares no actual code from proprietary UNIX, and UNIX is an actual certification which Linux doesn't have. If anything, calling Linux UNIX takes away from all the work that Linus and the others did; they didn't simply repackage UNIX code, they wrote it from scratch and did an amazing job.
