@stiefkind I don't know these (adding podcast to my queue), but MUNIX was also somewhat exotic. It ran on workstations built by PCS, a smallish German manufacturer. The most memorable (to me) feature was super-root (directory, not user): with a network of these computers, you could access the filesystem of another, say bernie, by going /../bernie/ - there is some logic to that.

Podcast recommendation: Have you ever heard of OMNIX, LSX, or CROMIX? Those were early – and quite exotic – Unix distributions, long before Linux. Enjoy: https://adventofcomputing.com/?guid=5b2cf3fa-0f86-4750-b302-3fb6e362d1a9 #vintagecomputing #techhistory #unix #unixhistory #podcast
Advent of Computing

Welcome to Advent of Computing, the show that talks about the shocking, intriguing, and all too often relevant history of computing. A lot of little things we take for granted today have rich stories behind their creation, in each episode we will learn how older tech has lead to our modern world.

I hope everyone has seen it by now but this talk on the recently found Utah Research #unix V4 by @CoolSWEng is just wonderful:
