On the other hand, it would be neat, historically, to have an 'original'/early

spinoffs, or before say ~1976).
What is the oldest version (year) of UNIX available or known to be still existant?
Besides, I
have no desire to run old versions of Unix, I'd just as
soon run a supported version (almost said new version, but I still
use Solaris 8). Also, I don't run Unix on my PDP-11's, as there are
plenty of interesting OS's that won't run on anything else.
Absolutely. I agree with you 100%.
Running Unix on PDPs would be so..anti-climax..
