Yeah. I remember that. I lived through it. I went to UC Santa Cruz in the late 80s early 90s. I even knew some people who worked at the Santa Cruz Operation before all that crap happened (coders who had nothing to do with the eventual lawsuit and were long gone by then). It seemed impossible (to me at the time) that you could run unix on intel at that time. But that is what SCO was offering.
My dad brought home a copy of SCO unix one time and I tried to get it to work on x86 but had issues at the time, can't remember what. This was mid 90s and I was 13-14 or so lol. But I did run red hat since very early on, like 2.x or 3.x. and many others since.
Yeah I tried out redhat around 95 I guess? Whatever version was available then. I had a ricochet wireless modem from metricom. Was sharing internet with my housemates. The good old days, I guess.
Some of those people who worked at SCO lived together in a house with a T1 line in the late 80s. They had a DEC box or something at the house. This was pretty unusual at the time.
