I have worked with the PDP8 and PDP11, just writing Fortran though not managing the OS. The U of Reading also had an ICL 1904S running George, then an Adahl running VM/CMS. One unusual OS was Sintran that ran on our ND-100 and ND-500 minicomputers made by Norsk Data. RU were the first university to buy these machines -- and for all I know the only one. The JET lab at Culham bought about 20 at the same time. ND were a delightful group to work with and it was sad when it all fell apart. My memory is a bit hazy but I'm sure there was a version of Minix for the BBC micro. It came on 20 floppy discs. Does anyone remember using it? The most recent OS is I think called iOS6 and hate is too mild a word for what I feel about it.
