I give this a high rating because it does what it sets out to do very well.Peter Salus was involved in the history of Unix and Linux, which makes him a good guide to that history. He presents it in a straightforward and spare style, so don't expect a gripping page turner. But if you want to have good accurate data on who did what and when, this book will deliver. Also, it is a relatively quick read because of his spare style.
fascinating look into the past by someone who takes the time to introduce all who were part of the computing and internet revolution
Thought this was a great exposition for how the internet truly came to me. Namely through UNIX and open source!
