I was doing CS at a similar time. Used Ultrix and HP-UX at work. Until Linux and Minix it was very hard to get a Unix on a PC. Someone had SystemV running, not sure how.
Once Linux appeared, other home Unixes started evaporating, except for *BSDs.
I was at the very first Sydney Linux Users Group meeting (SLUG). Have pics! The only pics of that event. Have tried to get permission from others so I can share, but no response :-(. Might share them anyway.
Later in the 90s we had Linus over for a conference. Had a day out the harbour, good times. Got an excellent shot of Linus's head framed by the Opera House. Then found I had no film in the camera!
Linux came back to Australia more than a few times of course. On one of these he was infamously bitten* by a Fairy Penguin.
* Not sure if you could describe such a tiny animal as having a bite!
- martyvis 4y agoI'm pretty sure you should share them (statue of limitations and all that ;-) ). I probably went to my first SLUG meeting maybe '94 or '95. (I bought my 1st PC specially for dual booting DOS and Linux with Slackware early '93)
