The system went live in 1993 so what distro would they have chosen in ~1990, when the system choice was made and is that distro still around? How many ports would they have had to make over the ensuing years.
I love Linux and use it everyday but it would have been a poor choice in 1990 and some would argue would still be a poor choice today given other industrial OS-es on the market.
- marcus0x62 4y agoSeeing as Linux didn’t exist in 1990, it would have been an exceptionally poor choice. Early distros were pretty rough, but honestly by 93/94 it was reasonably useful and, if you didn’t have defective hardware, which was a huge problem at the time, quite stable.
