I'll always remember SunOS and Solaris. It was my first exposure to Unix
and workstations back in 1993 at C-Cube Microsystems. Later on, Les Kohn
(the silicon architect of UltraSPARC) worked at C-Cube and designed
multimedia chips with SPARC cores. I still have one running VxWorks that
I use as a DVR.

it once again points out some of the advantages of open source.

I mention this because there are those who have the impression that
'amprgw' is running on Solaris. It is not; it never has. It ran on the
predecessor, SunOS, for some years, but has been running on FreeBSD for
a long time.
