Hey! I know Apollos! :)
The first system-admin task I had (1984) was to admin a network of Apollo
workstations we used for CAD. As others have mentioned, The Apollo OS
(Aegis) is not Unix, but it's pretty similar to a user. (Though not to an
admin...)
Even when two operating systems are officially Unix, they're not very
similar to a sysadmin. Those are the tools and commands that vary the
most from one vendor to another and even from one release to another
from one vendor as anybody who had to go from Solaris
2.4 to 2.5 can
attest.
