I have a 6386 with an old version of Linux on it (1.2?). I think you'd also need to mention the *BSDs also as they were doing 'battle' at the same time.
I'll need to see if I can get the 6386(sx) started it hasn't run in a long time.
I agree with you that BSD was very important, I worked for an ISP and we used to use a lot of software that only ran on BSD. If you really want to discuss it. NeXT was BSD based, MacOS and IOS for the Iphone are based on Darwin which is BSD based. I would never deny the historical significance of BSD. 30 years is still a nice reminder though. A lot was done with Linux and the history is important. Fun fact, Linux Journal was released in 1994 and I got my first issue and subscription at Trenton Computer Festival. I have the first 12 issues in a box somewhere.
