I have to ask, which flavor(s) of *NIX?
-
@travisdh1 I started on AT&T System V and BSD UNIX 4.1 when the little software house on the prairie that I worked for in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois was creating a merged port of these systems to Gould hardware. I have since worked on a variety of AT&T UNIX flavors, especially when I worked at AT&T Bell Labs in Naperville, Illinois. I later played with SCO Unix of several flavors, Minix, and on to FreeBSD and Linux. With Linux, I mainly followed the Red Hat line, so CentOS has gotten a lot of my attention. But doing some work in Ubuntu and Debian lately, also. And macOS too as my daily driver. And I'm just remembering some time spent with variants of these *NIX systems such as AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HP-UX, etc.
How about yourself, @travisdh1?

Nice to have someone from the same continent

@mas I can only claim IRIX in the *NIXs. Also had to deal with OpenVMS. Seems I'm a bit younger than you as I didn't get started till the 90s. Ever since I've been a RedHat, CentOS, Debian, and now Fedora is replacing CentOS as my go-to choice.

Very true, there are indeed many sticks.
East of the coast, west of the border, north of Albany but south of Kununurra...
that may or may not be helpful in narrowing it down.Seriously though I'm fairly close to Perth (Wheatbelt)
