@sjvn @ZDNet Lets not forget #Microsoft also had its own #UNIX distribution called #XENIX which was used with their internal version control system #SLM as the repository for their proprietary platforms source code such as #Office and #Windows. They also had one of the largest SUN Solaris installations for handling internal mail before Exchange also for running #Hotmail.

I remember Xenix back when I was in high school. I had a copy lying around but there was so much dev activity on DOS then Windows that it was relegated to the pile of ignored OSs.

Turned out the patch might not be needed on my Xenix 1.00 disks. Tried stepping through install. Went as hoped (with a few glitches) until finally it asked to boot from the HDD. Then, oops. No /boot for me!
Well, I also stuffed up the time zone (I don't live in the US and messed up setting the "Other" timezone), so I get to blow away that massive 20 MB Type 2 HDD and try again with knowledge now earned and learned.

Playing around with Xenix. Managed to get 2.0 running in PCem, albeit now I need to do a bit of reading to learn how to configure it and use it.
I'd like to take a swing at Xenix 1.0, but looks like I need to patch Install and another disk before it will work in PCem. I have the patch, but it needs Python 2.x, so either I rewrite it for 3.x, or I revive my 10-years-dead 2.7.6 environment.
This one is part of my self-learning-how-to-Linux track.

It’s Xenix
While compiling Perl on the Cray I stumbled over the following lines...
Compiling Perl on UNICOS system
It's not Xenix...
Hmm... Looks kind of like an extended USG system, but we'll see...
Congratulations. You aren't running Eunice.
It's not Xenix...
Nor is it Venix...
Use which C compiler? [cc]Well Xe

I've seen a poll about operating systems lately and I think that people should learn one or two things before talking (writing).
Let me clarify you 1, 2 or 3 things:
- #Linux is not an operating system it's just a kernel. Maybe you mean GNU/Linux
- #Mac is not an operating system, it's a computer. Maybe you mean Mac OS or Mac OS X
- #Microsoft is not an operating system, it's a corporation. Maybe you mean #DOS, #Windows or even #Xenix
Ok folks, the class is over. See you next Monday 😎
