Universities maintained legacy systems for sure, but in 1989, 4.3 was already a mature, gold standard, for the right hardware.
Personally I was put on SVR3/3B2, and SunOS on IPX/SLC type systems, along with an awareness of all kinds of other stuff available there, such as a "recreational" 4.3BSD VAX.
- aap_ 2y ago2.11BSD is still a popular choice if you have a PDP-11 (or are emulating one).
- bediger4000 2y agoOddly, I dialed in to Nyx from a 3b2. Paid extra for SVr3 to get that newfangled Korn shell.
- kjs3 2y agoWas there some CDC gear laying around in the back, cause if so we might have gone to the same place (where I ran some of the 4.3/VAX, recreationally).
