Don't forget about AIX, Solaris, and IRIX :-)
- vram22 9y agoAnd HP-UX, Ultrix, Tru64, and probably a few more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX I used HP-UX for a while; it was good. In fact I first wrote this Unix utility [1] (and later an IBM developerWorks article about it) on an HP-UX system, for a big manufacturing client. HP-UX was pretty stable and had a good patch management system. Had some good tools from HP on top of the OS, such as GlancePlus, Ignite-UX, Process Resource Manager, etc., and another high-end one called MC ServiceGuard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tru64_UNIX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tru64_UNIX Edit: Sorry, forgot to add the link I quoted above. Done now: [1] https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/09/my-ibm-developerworks-article.html https://jugad2.blogspot.in/2014/09/my-ibm-developerworks-art... It's a tutorial on the topic: Developing a Linux command-line utility (in C).
- rkeene2 9y agoHP-UX is still alive until 2025 apparently. I used on my workstation for a while (an HP Visualize C3000) in the 90s -- it was my first 64-bit workstation. It's not great.
- vram22 9y agoInteresting. Haven't used it for a while. I miss that OS. Last used it some years ago, so things have moved on since then. For the time, I found it good, though. And HP had pretty good quality in those days - in both hardware and software (the stuff I used, anyway). Also, I only used it on HP business servers - the PA-RISC series, not on their workstations. Don't know, but there could be some differences in the HP-UX versions between the servers and workstations, the latter which, IIRC, were based on the acquisition of Apollo (but don't know much about that).
- rkeene2 9y agoThe HP Visualize C3000 is a PA-RISC 2.0 system (2x 400MHz processors). I still build a cross-compiler toolchain for HP-UX PA-RISC 2.0 long-mode (64-bit address mode).
