So here is a purely personal thing: I really, really *really* love operating systems. I'd say it's what makes me tick, to be honest. This is why I'm a sysadmin, and not a developer, like a lot of my friends. Languages will come and go, but the hardware - it lives forever. I know by definition this is a LUG - so I guess we all use Linux. But what other systems have you known/loved/hated or been forced to use at gun point? Which ones did you like, even as you wished horrible death on their creators? I'd REALLY love to hear from old-school gurus like George, to whom even MULTICS might genuinely be something he had to step up to as an engineer, and punch it right in the face. If any of you have ever genuinely used a PDP please raise your hand, because I'll get off my ass, come to the next meeting, and buy you a beer. And ask you a lot of questions...
