What is your *nix story? (FYI, Using an asterisk in place of the L in Linux
is a way to reference both Unix and Linux which are very similar in nature
as I understand it. I also understand that Mac OSX is more based on Unix
than Linux. )
I started in 1994 when I was in the math department at the University of
Utah. There they had several SGI Indigo workstations and numerous other
unix terminals running X11. Of course they were also connected to the
internet. I discovered all kinds of fascinating and powerful things you
could do on those machines that far surpassed any other platform I had
contact with. When I heard about linux later that year I got a book with
a Slackware CD and never looked back. I've been using linux exclusively
since then and now I run my business on it in conjuction with the System
i.
