I like Unix, Linux, xBSD, and playing with operating
systems to see what they can offer as servers or as desktops, and

Linux 6.2….

“I’ve been a computer networking professional for about 15
years, having worked on everything from IBM 3270 terminals, Novell
networks, SCO Unix, Solaris, MS NT/9x and a lot of other now
extinct stuff like Artisoft.”

“One thing about operating systems like Novell and SCO was that
when you bought an operating system, the installer only installed
onto the system only that which was truly needed to make the system
functional.”
