My first computer was a Radio Shack Color Computer 3 - 6809-based, running OS-9 Level II. It could run 32 processes at once, due to bank-switching a whole 1 Meg of memory.
After that, I got an AT&T 3b2, also known as a Convergent Safari. This was a Motorola 68010-based desktop.
Then, I graduated to a NeXT black&white "slab". I bought a used SPARCStation IPC in 1995, and put NetBSD 0.9 on it.
I've been using Linux since 1997, starting with a DEC Alpha-based UDB, and downgrading to a x86 PC in 2002.
I run Slackware and Arch linux.

Is it possible to “roll” a symlink to a new file without affecting any open file handles? The operating system abstraction you refer to as "handles" are better referred to as "file descriptors". It's hard to tell, given the state of Microsoft's documentation, but "descriptors" and "handles" are probably different at some level. |

How to start a new Linux distro? When you end up doing this, please take some time to document what you did and how you did it. Despite all the distros out there, and Linux From Scratch, D.I.Y. Linux, etc, there's precious little about starting your own entire distro from scratch. |

Why did my crontab not trigger? I'd guess Solaris, or maybe early Solaris. I have a habit of making the cron entry run 3-5 minutes in the future when I test a script from a crontab entry, because I used to get fooled by this behavior all the time. |

Two networks cannot be accessed simultaneously Could you add the output of "netstat -r" (or "ip route") under both (or all) situations? The default route may have something to do with this. Running "ifconfig" on the interfaces may also give you a hint. You've included what ought to happen, but you should look at what really happens. |

Compare files that are in directory 1 but not directory 2? Add commentary to make clear what "join" does, and why you'd need to accomodate whitespace in file names |

Compare files that are in directory 1 but not directory 2? Can you clarify a bit? Should d2/ only have one file, d2/f? Because I tried this, and it works as expected. |
