I say that you haven't heard of the Internet Worm. Linux,
basically being a clone of UNIX, might have succombed to
that one, I suspect. Almost certainly BSD would have. Since
Linux didn't exist at the time one can't really say. However,
it would likely have been one of the targetted systems if
the Worm were done today, and so if an exploit had been available,
it likely would have hit Linux machines.
