At some point in my career, I was responsible for Solaris (from 2.5 to 10), AIX (I don’t recall the versions of this, but we had RS/6000s), HP-UX (10 to 11i), IRIX (5.3 to 6.5), Linux (probably kernel 2.0 days to the present?), NextOS, macOS X, and now mostly Linux. Never touched Digital, and I can’t remember if there are any others that exist that I just forgot I dealt with. I don’t feel like one was significantly worse than any of the others, honestly, except you ran into compatibility problems on stuff like HP-UX because it was less common.
I have a soft spot for SGI’s “inst” packaging system, and their stuff always made neat noises. I too used an IRIX Desktop as my workstation for many years (eventually, an Indy got too slow to do much web browsing). -- #BlackLivesMatter ____ || \\UTGERS, |---------------------------*O*--------------------------- ||_// the State | Ryan Novosielski - [email protected] || \\ University | Sr. Technologist - 973/972.0922 (2x0922) ~*~ RBHS Campus || \\ of NJ | Office of Advanced Research Computing - MSB A555B, Newark `' On Mar 23, 2023, at 14:54, Joe Landman <[email protected]> wrote: Nah ... that honor belongs to HPUX or AIX. If you used them, you would understand. Irix was my daily driver for ~7 years, until 1999 when I switched to Linux (and stayed there up to this day). Work machine is a MacOS to Linux machines. Home machines 70-30 linux to mac. No windows. On 3/23/23 14:50, Prentice Bisbal via Beowulf wrote: irix Worst. Unix. Ever.
