Wow, I haven't heard Varian Vortex mentioned in a long time. The first real computer that I got to play with was a Varian, back in the mid-70's. I think I still have some of the manuals. After that it was Univac Chi/OS, Digital RT, Harris Vulcan / VOS, Masscomp RTU, Sun SunOS / Solaris, a bit of NetBSD, FreeBSD starting somewhere in the 2.2.x timeframe, and more recently CentOS, Fedora, and Debian.
