For many years the BSD tcp/ip stack was by far the best. Linux lacked viable networks far into its infancy. So I too expected BSD to reign Supreme.

For the life of me I cannot explain it, because the rise of distro carried Linux up the foodchain to mainframes and down to replace vxworks and ultimately dominate phones to spaceships.

Maybe it was people more than software?
