Quarter century of UNIX sounds interesting.

I found at least 1 copy in the Internet Archive.

https://archive.org/details/aquartercenturyofunixpeterh.salu...

The cover looks redacted, as the "Sex, Drugs" from "Sex, Drugs, Unix" was removed. Hopefully the content wasn't censored as well.

Thanks for sharing this link. I'll read it right away. If you are passionate about Unix history, you should also get Unix: A History and a Memoir by Brian Kernighan https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-History-Memoir-Brian-Kernighan/d...

No thank you. I recommend not downloading stuff from a website that cannot hold a Domain for longer than a year and forces you to learn what the 'real domain' is and asks you not to fall for any imposters.

If not for legal reasons, then for security reasons.

The Internet Archive doesn't have to evade law enforcement and doesn't ask you to put your systems at risk.
