Same era really. BSD was also a copy of AT&T Unix. I had a copy of SCO XENIX on a old 286. Know what would be cool to try? A/UX, I always wanted a copy to play with. I found a site that some guy uses a old SE/30 with System 7.01 with A/UX and uses it to host his site.

I downloaded and installed A/UX on one of my old macs about a year ago, its still sitting around somewhere. There was someone that had A/UX as a http download, but I can't find the site now. I have ssh turned on on my sisters iBook, and have had fun with the say command before. But it never seems to say anything when she takes it to me to ask whats wrong with it...

According to the wikipedia link above, M$ licensed Xenix from AT&T. Then sold it to SCO.

Almost correct. AT&T gave a license to the source to MS and since the name UNIX was copyrighted they gave it the name XENIX.

Know whats fun? Installing Radmin on your room mate's PC and while he's playing WoW you connect and take it over lol. When I did it I didn't take over his char I just started typing random quote from full metal jacket lol.
