Solaris, hell, I still mourn the death of SunOS (esp verison 4.1.3) at the hands of Solaris,

Ah... I loved SunOS! Fondly remember my Sun Station 3/80, nothing like that fancy SPARC processor in there, a good solid 68040 like real men used back then ;-)

Mind you, I still use the 'sun' font when booting my linux kernel on framebuffers, I always loved that font.

Indeed, I still remember (just) the jokes about Slowlaris and BloatedWindows...
