Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
Anyone run real UNIX on real hardware?
kshuff:
Wow, was not my intention to create such a stir, just expressing my opinion. I've tried linux in the past and was not very impressed. Sorry if it offends anyone. I don't profess to know all the in's and out's as I don't do this for a living, I'm only a hobbyist. I do have experience on many unix flavors and found IRIX to be about the easiest to work with, at least for me. I started out with an old DEC PDP running 6th Edition, migrated to a VAX and MicroVAX, then the DECstation and VAXstations, all running Ultrix, but I did play around with RSTS/E and RSX a bit on the PDP's. Experimented a little with NetBSD on the DEC hardware, then migrated to the SGI's and IRIX. Currently have six systems in the collection along with two SUN SparcStation 5's running Solaris 8 at the moment. Pic's available upon request
On a side note, I have two IBM systems available that I will probably never use and would like to get out of the basement due to space considerations. They are and IBM System/36 Baby and an AS/400 Advanced 9402/3xx. Both work fine, no problems, just don't have the time to do anything with them. The System/36 I have all the original documentation, manuals, and software for, the AS/400 has only what's on the disks. If anyone's interested, drop me a line by email. I'd hate for these to end up in a dumpster.

"my work" (just the company i am on the payroll of.. i dont actually work) runs SCO OpenServer with TOMACS on it. I havent actually just gotten to use the SCO Openserver, just TOMACS, but they are changing to an OS specifically built for their business.

I am running on an Amstrad 128k. The screen is green, i took out Locomotive Basic and am running on pure Unix.
Either that, or i just had the best doobie in my life.

Hey, I saw a commodore 128 for $7.00, can I install real Unix on that? Will that count as real hardware?
*meow*
Master of Reality:
yes you can... and yes it will.
Lunix is what the OS for the commodore is called. search google for it.
