ahh yes, coherent. where i cut my teeth on unix style systems. it supported memory protection on 286 cpus (true segmentation!) but had no ip stack (uucp was supported though). no x or graphics. pretty good documentation in a big doorstop they called "the lexicon.", a decent c tool chain, a custom port of emacs (microemacs they called it). only other unix i played with before that was some port on the atari st, which incidentally was a first class platform for the mark williams c compiler (mwc was the company behind coherent). it fit on two disks. where i had a massive stack of floppies for slackware (kernel 0.99pl2). linux was more fun- it was open source by and of the internet. fun times!
