TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC, but anyone could recommend me a open source/linux/unix/free software history book? Something that mentioned the FSF foundation, the GPL creation, the XFree86 -> X.org evolution, linux [..]. -> 2.4 -> 2.6 evolution, sound stack evolution (OSS, ALSA, JACK, PA, ESD, Arts, Phonon), multimedia history (ffmpeg, mplayer, mplayer2, gstreamer, xine, vlc). It could go all the way back to shell's, like sh, csh, BASH, zsh.
