Computer show Saturday, in Manchester

[Tom Buskey]

I was at the same UNH with Linus too.  RedHat on DEC Alpha!
I had been running Slackware since it came out.  It was SLS with bug
reports fixed, which I had been running before.

I toggled between Red Hat and Mandrake, depending on what hardware was
supported.
I've done NetBSD and OpenBSD also, even at work for firewalls.  It's been
mostly Red Hat at work if it's Linux.
Most of my work has been/is SunOS/Solaris with token appearances of HP-UX
and even more rare Tru64, Irix and Ultrix.

I was running Fedora at home until I got tired of the expiration of updates
after 12-18 months.  I was running OpenSolaris for ZFS too.

Now, i'm running Ubuntu on my laptop, a newer Ubuntu with ZFS (ZoL)
fileserver and Debian 6 on another server.

At work, Redhat 5.x and 6.x on the servers where I can buy support and
Scientific Linux on my desktop.
We also have an Ubuntu system here & there that some engineer speced out so
it's good to have experience from RPM and debian based stuff.

We get coops at work and they tend to be familiar with Linux.  After I set
them up with Solaris for a week they have a question about why xxx doesn't
work the way it should (tar, awk, or any number of things).  When SLS and
later Slackware, there was always a decision on how to do implement
something.  Mostly it was following SunOS but some followed other OSen.
 It's amusing that it's the other way now.
