I really don't care what your favourite distro is. I'm just trying to figure things out

ok, first things first... never use vi. vi is evil. `export EDITOR=emacs` is your best friend.

Actually, System V is not a descendant of BSD.
AT&T unix ---->Sys V ----> Solaris

while you are not wrong, i am not wrong either since Bill Joy actually worked on AT@T unix at B. That was the days that you could rewrite the whole kernel on the weekend. Later on, most of the System V and Solaris applications are from BSD.
interested in hacking, send me a message.

I like vi
It makes me strangely happ-eye
It attests to my perversion
That I like this version
Although my very most favourite place to edit
Is the astounding Mac-only BBEdit
[/singing]
Ouch, that song really suxors. LOL!
KoolStream: Good point, it was not a pure one-way path; there was a lot fo cross-pollination there.
