Funny thing is I came into *x (Solaris, and then Linux) relatively late - 
ca. 1997, after I had been using MS-DOS and ProDOS for years, which were 
the operating systems I compared it to.

It was because MS-DOS had adopted ideas from Xenix that *x was easier to 
acclimate to than other OSes I'd used.
