Thats not a good comparison. Linux is nothing completly new, it was, and still is, a new implemenation of an existing operating system concept and thus at least mostly source-compatible to other operating systems implementing this concept. Linux would never had this success if it were not posix compliant and could run applications like X or gcc which were written for other operating systems. Joerg
