Linux v1.0 was about 1994, and rough versions of UNIX were around in the
1960's (early 1980's for real).
OS/400's birthday was June 28, 1988.

Technically, OS/400 was largely based on the S/38's CPF operating system, which goes back to about 1978.

And although the Linux kernel reached version 1.0 around 1994, many of the GNU tools included in Linux distros date back to the mid 1980's.

Cheers! Hans
