It&amp;#x27;s historically under appreciated how critical GCC was at that time, how it had far far reaching impacts that changed the path of computing globally.&lt;p&gt;GCC not only makes Linux possible, but it brought the other unixes closer together, which is instrumental to escaping the vendor lock of the various *nix vendors.  That means by the time Linux is reliable enough for production, there is already a lot of cross-platform software to run on it.</text></comment>
