HabrЧерез тернии к Солнцу: уютный UNIX

Pete Orrall@vermaden When I started my #Linux journey (in a predominantly #Windows shop) it was the tail end of #UNIX systems. My brief experience with Solaris 10 began with a #SPARCstation 20 in 2006ish and a handful of Sun Fire V880 and E4xxx servers in 2015. I am aware those machines were ancient by the time I used them
Solaris is the one #tech I genuinely feel like I missed out on. Not Oracle but Sun.
I checked out #OpenSolaris and its descendants over the years. I liked it but the one thing that really held me back from migrating to it (on the desktop) was the small package set. Unfortunately.

Catch of the Day: The Forefather of the World Wide Web! 🏛️🕸️
Hey Retro Fans!
Hold your breath and bow in reverence. Today, our FrogFind radar didn't just catch an old browser; it caught the absolute foundation of the modern internet. Between all the Nintendos and dusty Windows PCs, this gigantic milestone appeared:
NCSA Mosaic 2.7b5 on UNIX (X11)!
For those who weren't online in the early 90s: Mosaic, developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), was the first web browser that could display images inline next to text (rather than in a separate window). Starting in 1993, it was the spark that made the World Wide Web appealing to the masses! The Mosaic team later went on to found Netscape, and even Microsoft's first Internet Explorer was based on licensed Mosaic code.
The fact that today, in 2026, someone boots up a UNIX machine (perhaps an old Sun SPARCstation or an SGI) and navigates our frog pond using the final beta version of NCSA Mosaic (from around 1996) is like operating a working time machine. It proves one thing: True HTML survives decades.
A reverent cheer to the pioneers of the internet!

James HoldenAfter all that, it turns out the root password was written on a sticky note in with the manuals. Oops. 🤦 #SPARCStation #retrocomputing
MJ Turner@jamesholden Very cool - I love 32-bit #SPARCstation hardware. On the point of the terminator - is it because you were using an external drive too? I don't remember having to use a terminator if only using the internal drives.
Ancient caddy loading CD-ROM was flaky, so I swapped it temporarily with the drive from the Indigo 2. Now I can reset the root password. #SPARCStation #retrocomputing
