It was 1996 and I was 15 & lucky to have the UK's compulsory 2-week Work Experience in a London Hospital.
Introduced by an elderly bofh to Solaris 2.5 on a Sparc Server 20. Awesome experience.
I was given the Jewell CD set of InfoMagic Linux Developers Resource, April 96 edition. Commence bedroom tinkering with Slackware and redhat for a couple of years and then FreeBSD for about 6 years, heading back to Linux since.
Professionally, it's mostly been Solaris, Linux and AIX with a few forays into Tru64, HP-UX, etc..
But i'll never forget that elderly bofh and his inane random noises and twitching, cordrouy trousers, knitted jump and the stench of Nescafe. What a guy.
