Windows and others…

with 6 comments


The first operating system I ever laid my hands was fortunately or unfortunately Microsoft Windows.
I don’t understand why this was so. This was in my early days at school. No wait, it wasn’t windows… it was something else… I don’t recall its name… it was something like DOS I think… I wrote my first LOGO program there and then some BASIC. And, in my later stages some PASCAL. Then it was the end of non-Windows operating systems. Then it was Windows all along until I came to this place.
It opened my eyes to a whole new world of computers and operating systems. All this time I didn’t even know that the windows I had been using all this time was a pirated copy! It was time for me to experience GNU/Linux. We had this course called Elements of scientific computing 101. We were taught to compile and run simple Java programs with console commands like ‘javac’ and ‘java’.
We also had a dozen Sun systems running Solaris 6. At this time I still wasn’t aware of supposedly more powerful systems like FreeBSD. Ending todays entry with a screenshot.
