[Simh] booting vanilla v6 unix

[Glynn Stanton]

I personally enjoy hearing about the other OS'es.. yes I run VMS.. but based
on discussions on this list Ive also played with RT-11 and various flavors
of Unix.

This is such a nice low-volume list, that I really don't mind reading any
post about any OS... the fascination of virtualization is that all of these
yester-day multimillion dollar hardware and software configurations are now
at the disposal (and outperformed by) very modest current hardware.

I'm often interested in learning more about VMS myself, so I don't mind 
much, really. But, if we say "no VMS posts" we maybe get just a few and 
hopefully those most appropriate to simh. :)
