Wow talk about a blast from the past...

I remember working on Xenix for a programming project back in my college days (early 90's). Back then my only work on Unix had been on AIX and Solaris, and PC's for me were equivalent to DOS. Seeing a PC do Unix was... weird. You had multiple consoles, if I remember correctly, and of course the C compiler, yacc and lex, /usr/bin, the standard library, man pages -- man this thing is deep.

A couple years later Linux came out and the rest is history.
