Afternoon folks,
I started looking up the Minix OS (the precursor to Linux) and found a great
lecture video on the history of Minix by its creator Andrew S. Tanenbaum.
Really fascinating stuff because if AT&T hadn't been so greedy and hush hush
about the UNIX source code, the world of computing would be a totally different
place.
The first video is about an hour lecture.

The second video is a little over ten minutes and talks more about the impact
of Minix on the world of computing.

Enjoy! :)
