[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Trilogy?

[Steve Egbert]

For a brief shiny moment, I saw a website gem containing a Linux trilogy.  I
cannot recall anymore where I can find this...

Writing in a Foundation bard-style of which the entire 3 part history of
computing evolved from various O/S to OS including a "brief bout" of
Microsoft.

I've tried every search engine on the following key words "Linux Trilogy"  I
know its not the "OS Wars Trilogy" as it was too-Microcrap-centric and
non-elegant.

Can someone help me?
