As mine was a special secure version of A/UX 2.0 on a Mac IIfx that
was cleared for Top Secret work, I'd just as soon forget it. OTOH,
it was quickly followed by Linux 0.12 on my 486/33 (I'd looked into
getting UNIX for the system before Linux was released). Then HP-UX,
SunOS, Solaris, and the list goes on....

Much to my surprise a couple weeks ago, I found the DECstation 5000
that I bought to run NetBSD. I thought I'd dumped it on Jim Willing
over a decade ago.
I still have a huge soft spot for DECstations, I really regret getting
rid of all of mine. Whattayagonnado.
It makes me feel like a real whippersnapper to admit it, but ULTRIX 4.2
on a DECstation 3100 was my first introduction to any flavor of UNIX.
There was a small NFS cluster of three DECstations on campus, supporting
remote logins for a couple hundred users (not simultaneously,
obviously). It's where I cut my teeth.
You never forget your first UNIX.
