In a previous life, I was a systems engineer at a company[0] that had several client with what would be charitably termed "legacy" systems, including SCO UnixWare and "Olivetti Unix".

- kjs3 11y agoIs that Olivetti X/OS or their SVR4 port. X/OS is really legacy.
- jackgavigan 11y agoIt was the late '90s so it was probably the SVR4 port (I actually think a lot of those "ports" were little more than rebranding).
- kjs3 11y agoYeah...pretty much everyone with a vaguely ISA/EISA/MCA box in those days just shipped a 99% unchanged reference port of i386 SVR4. It was interesting that one of the exceptions was, of all folks, Dell. They had a really nicely done SVR4 distribution with a hugely improved installer, a lot of open source stuff prebuilt and lots of bug fixes. Ran it for a while as my primary desktop and liked it alot. Shame Dell didn't stick with it.
