What OS are you or have you been familiar with.
« on: Mon, 29 February 2016, 17:59:48 »
What OS are you or have you been familiar with.

Apple 2
Mac OSX, OSX86,  Darwin and Pear (not the Linux Pear)
Windows – All
MSDOS - All
Windows Server - NT 3.5 through 2008
ReactOS - Windows clone
Linux - Many, mostly Red Hat and Debian + variants, dating back to Red Hat 6
BSD (and variants)
OS2/OS2 Warp
BEOS 3, 4 and 5, as well as Haiku and a few clones.
Android
A OS - short lived OS experiment

I've also done a little with Solaris and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting a few.

Personal favorites:
OS2 and BEOS. Both were sent to the dustbin of history, not because of ability, but because of money and politics. A slight change and your Windows would be labeled IBM and Mac would have BEOS underpinnings.

How familiar?

The last OS that I was knew inside-out was Red Hat Linux 5.0, back in the '90s.
Before that it was AmigaOS 3.1
Other systems, such as Windowses and more recent Linuxes have been too large and complex for me to comprehend fully.

Sure, I have used and sometimes programmed for/under:
AmigaOS 1.3, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1
MS Windows 3.11, 95, XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, 10
BeOS
QNX (Photon)
IRIX
Solaris
MacOS System 7 and 9
MacOS X
GeOS (on the Commodore 64 !)
TOS/GEM (Atari ST!)
MS-DOS

DR-DOS had much better extended memory management than MS- (or PC-) DOS of its day. MS caught up with EMM386, but it still wasn't as good. :)

Did you use the tsk command under QNX?

Did you try it with the "tsk" option?

I used to know XP and 7 pretty well, but not so much any more.

I use 10 on a daily basis (my desktop), but I'm not totally familiar with it. I kinda got everything set up, and once that was done I haven't had to mess with it since.

I'm more familiar with 8.1 than I am with 10, even though I don't use it any more I got to know the ins-and-outs pretty well.

I work on OSX, mostly Snow Leopard on older laptops and Yosemite on newer ones, every day so I'm pretty familiar with that.

I sort of know Linux. I'd say from an everyday user standpoint I'm good, but not enough to get paid to do it.

In no particular order:

MS-DOS 3 - 5
Windows 3.11
Windows 95
GNU/Linux (SuSE first, Debian since Slink)
VMS
Atheros
GNU Hurd
FreeBSD, NetBSD
(Does Emacs count? Because then Emacs 21+ :)

I have a Win8.1 desktop, but that is just a glorified loader for Steam & Blizzard games.

Windows - 95 ~ 10
OS X- Attempt to use hackintosh 10.7, was failed. so that doesn't count.
Linux - ubuntu -> slackware -> fedora -> centos -> epic 'rm incident' -> lubuntu -> gentoo...maybe?

I have desktop with windows 10 for using cubase, old laptop with lubuntu,
and I recieved my thinkpad yesterday, so I'm struggling with install hardened gentoo right now.
