BSD vs Linux. Some people (including Bob!) consider Linux to be a jumped up UNIX wannabe.... A common question, given the wide publicity often afforded to Linux, is "What is the difference between Linux and (say) FreeBSD?".

http://www.386bsd.org/ contains much material on the 386BSD effort, including links to the original articles from Dr Dobbs' Journal.
The UNIX Heritage Society helps to preserve early (and later) stuff about UNIX.
Dennis Ritchie died in October 2011. His home page has been preserved, and there is lots of really interesting stuff on it, about all sorts of things. Take a look.
