often referred to Linux as "The Windows of the Unix world".
I wonder what operating systems people on this list use. AIX? BSD
variants? Or maybe even IRIX?
My mail/web server is FreeBSD (of course), which is self-firewalled; that
latter task will soon be taken over by OpenBSD (of course).
The main client is a MacBook running Sierra (the poxy thing doesn't seem
to like High Sierra), as FreeBSD for all its advantages is a piss-poor
client.
I have images of NetBSD etc lying around somewhere, to try on new boxen.
And I keep a tame Debian laptop to see what the penguins have broken on my
projects[*]...
Also, OSX is "the Windows of the Unix
world".
I was calling Linux that a fair while before OSX came along.

Just one example: it's 'stty -f ..." on most systems, but "stty
-F" on
Penguin/OS. Why?
