The whole one man IFCTF with custom compression but otherwise a 4.3 BSD system??
I think its historical significance was that it was the first complete 'tape' distribution that would run on SIMH.. maybe its not so much a hoax as he lost interest... VAXen in the wild are pretty rare these days, and hell it inspired me to track down the 4.x BSD stuff @ TUHS, so it wasn't all in vain.
