[geeks] Daily Dose of Unix

[Jonathan C. Patschke]

I am awakened each morning by a small ksh script running under Mac OS
X on my PowerBook.  I then ssh to an IRIX box to check my email.  I
shower, dress myself, and eat breakfast.  Before I leave the house, I
ssh into my NetBSD router and power it off.

When I get to work, I sit down at a Sun workstation running Solaris and
sort out my day's work in GroupWise and XEmacs.  Most of my actual
net-admin work is done while sshed into (or at the console of) nine big
IBM servers running AIX.  Usually, I run at least one web-access report
on the cache server running Slackware Linux.  Sometimes if add hosts to
the zone files on our OpenBSD DNS server.

When I get home, I sometimes log onto the HP-UX system I've borrowed
from Bill for the sole purpose of learning Yet Another OS.

Let's tally here:
  * Mac OS X
  * IRIX
  * NetBSD
  * Solaris
  * AIX
  * Linux
  * OpenBSD
  * HP-UX

And, nine times out of ten, I don't even have to -touch- Windows before
I go to bed.  Life is _good_.

So, how many different variants of Unix do all of you use on a daily
basis?
