You really wouldn't. I developed code for Coherent, if anyone remembers that UNIX clone. I honestly never want that to come back.
I dont suppose you have coherent 8086/80286 at all? I should have ordered it as a kid but I'd been told so many times to never trust mailorder. It still bugs me I didn't send in the $99.99
We had it on 286, but most of where I lived was on the 68k. I never bought a personal license. We had a license w/ source. I had an Amiga at home back in those days.

#23And here I thought Blue Screen of Death and hints for how to handle it.

Totally. I don't want to derail the conversation too much but when I look at what Notch has become since he became a billionaire it's frankly pathetic. Princes & Kings Isn't it strange how princes and kings, and clowns that caper in sawdust rings, and common people, like you and me, are builders for eternity? Each is given a list of rules; a shapeless mass; a bag of tools. And each must fashion, ere life is flown, A…
What happened to Notch?
Nothing special, I think that’s what he/she meant.

#25There was also SFU which was a first party “BSD on Windows” I had to use it in the past and it’s genuinely awful. MobaXterm was the best before WSL (imo) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX
I had good luck compiling and running command line apps on SFU (nee Interix) back in the early 2000's. GNU autoconf had (has?) support for Interix as a target.
I always wanted a distribution of Windows that booted character mode and ran the Interix userland.

Hey. Microsoft's SFU[1] is alive and well, back when I was running servers getting DDoSed by chargen reflection, as far as I can tell, most of the reflectors were running chargen from SFU. [1] Well, Microsoft published it, but IIRC, another company developed it.
You mean like a botnet installed SFU on peoples machines? lol

There was also UWIN which came from David Korn and ATT. It is available as open source at https://github.com/att/uwin/.

I assume his tendency to say things that upset a particularly sensitive political milieu, but I can't say that's what they meant for certain.

Back in those days I often used coLinux and Interix. Cygwin was also an option, but I found that MinGW was just a way better option when it came out.

Well, I don't know how it got installed, just that it was installed, so when the DDoS origin spoofed requests to the SFU hosts with my server's IP as the source, the SFU hosts were happy to send me garbage.
