Thanks for sharing. I did Xenix, DG/UX, Aix, got my first Linux distribution in the form of Slackware 2.0. Tried to get Coherent before, but could not afford it. Afterwards Red-Hat, Mandrake and SuSE were my favourite ones until I ended up with Ubuntu. At work I also got to use Solaris and HP-UX. My first experience with containers was with HP-UX vaults. However I never managed to leave the worlds of Amiga, Windows and BeOS behind. Specially in terms of Demoscene, IDEs culture, graphics and game coding. |

Didn't know about HP-UX vaults. Maybe it came after I stopped using HP-UX, or I just missed it.
Edit: Just googled, it looks like vaults came in either HP-UX 10.24 or 11.x. Think I used HP-UX versions 9.x and upto 10.20.
You're lucky to have worked on Amiga [1]. Read a good amount about it, including its power and performance, multi-tasking, in BYTE etc., earlier, along with the Atari ST, though never got to use either.
(Still remember an Atari ST ad, probably a big deal at the time: "A megabyte of RAM for $x99!"). And where are we now in terms of RAM ...
[1] And had read about Carl Sassenrath, wow. Did all that stuff for the Amiga, and then goes and creates REBOL, maybe single-handedly (?), with the language, and the libs, and the GUI.
Good stuff.
Edit: typo.
