@joey @newt They're true but only as far as commodity Unix. Linux completely killed the market for all competitors on x86 white box hardware sans the BSDs and NT, and most of the workstation lines that the big iron Unices were tied to became casualties of the Itanic push which eventually cemented Linux as the victor there too except for HP which used it as intended to run the proprietary operating systems they either developed internally or that they acquired from former competitors (Sun and IBM never truly bought into it which is why their respective products survive in various guises, if just barely).
