It may have been true in the early days of Linux, but nowadays it's just a fairy tale. Compare the architectures Linux runs on, vs. NetBSD. And then STOP! edit: I like NetBSD, but that meme is just non-sense.

NetBSD still runs on the Amiga and the Atari.

So does Linux, if you absolutely have to. Meanwhile it gained the ability to run on architectures no BSD ever heard of.
