These books are over 20 years old. Obviously much has changed since they were released but I still hang onto them since many of the concepts are still relevant.

On a side note: I'd probably find some masochist level of joy running these ancient OSes as daily drivers. 馃ぃ

I answered a question on the #tuhs mailing list with a little history on userspace page 0 in #SunOS and #Solaris :

Ok, here's the blog post!

If you've wanted to party like it's 1994 and experience life on planet #Unix _before_ Solaris, why not try a bit of #RetroComputing and try #SunOS 4 on an emulated #SPARCstation 5? https://apintandaparma.club/cos/falling-down-a-rabbit-hole-of-nostalgia-episode-1-sunos-4

What I love about this bit of history is that it means the first non-linear video editing system was done on a #Sun-1 computer running #SunOS.

On this weekend the BIG hacker's festival, named "ChaosConstructions" is starting!

https://chaosconstructions.ru/

There are should be a lot of retro tech: #SunMicrosystem servers, some old #DEC stuff, #SunOS (or #Solaris ) terminals, PCs from Win95/98 era, etc. All hardware is working drgn_happy

I was on the festival in the last year. Some photos from this festival are here: https://eugene-andrienko.com/photo/2024/09/01/summer-photos-2024.html (section "Computers").

So, on the next week(s) you (my subscribers) will be flooded by the photos of the various retro tech, sorry (but no sorry) drgn_happy_blep
