One thing about Unix is that the core ideas persist over time. This seems to be an old chart, but still applies to linux. Signs of it’s age: csh.login but no bash equivalent – csh and ksh used to be very popular, but now bash is used by the vast majority, and newer shells like zsh appeal to the techies. Also, uucp is hardly seen these days, but back in the 80s it was more common to have uucp networking than tcp/ip. Overall a good chart though, and still holds true.
