@stefano October '83 I worked with Siemens Data and was sent with some colleages to the release event of #Sinix, the Siemens Unix, and a mini computer series with that OS. Subsequently I took courses in the OS and #C programming. I read the first edition of "The C Programming Language" in German(!)
I was hooked. Since then it was primarily #Unix for me.

@krutonium last time I checked it ended up as #SINIX in the Hands of #Siemens-#Nixdorf and may be now in the Hands of #Diebold-Nixdorf or #Fujitsu (which bought Siemens's Computer Division)...

• I mean there are media on @internetarchive but AFAICT, #XENIX is a #licensing mess worse than #MELPe!

@stefano I grew up with #Unix and had my first own experiences in the 1980s with #MINIX on an ATARI ST, #SINIX (Siemens #Unix derivat), and with #HPUX, #Solaris and #IRIX at the university.

#FreeBSD is my favourite #BSD (server) OS. I use it mainly because of its versatility. My use cases are firewalls, containerisation via #jails and VMs via #bhyve.

As desktop and mobile OSes I use the Apple #Unix derivates.
