Happy SysAdmin Day! When is DevOps Day? (:
- gruturo 13y ago
  DevOps by definition run systems. We may be bastard cousins, but what the hell, join the party and celebrate, it's your day as well!

Huge relief to see that this page has a horrible design. Wouldn't feel legit otherwise.

So nostalgic - my very first system was SCO UNIX 3.2 v4.2, and then FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. I had a few happy moments with Dec OSF/1 and some fun with AIX on RS/6000. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in a rain, so to speak.)

  My first exposure to *nix operating systems was when I was a teenager. We had a CompUSA store I was vising with my father, when I convinced him to buy a box with a devil[1] on the front cover. I took home the box that said 'FreeBSD', popped in the cd(s) and installed, reading the giant manual(s) that came with the discs along the way. I was horrified when I finally was finished, rebooted and was stuck at '$'. Having no real idea what I was doing, I had destroyed my windows installation, and the only way I knew to continue was to keep reading the manuals. My career started right here. (I believe it was FreeBSD ~4.2, but can't seem to locate a picture of the boxed version.)
