Before that I worked on HP-UX, Solaris (and when it was still SunOS), CDCs, VAXen and IBM big iron. I still have a punch card around here some place. I run CentOS or Scientific Linux on the boxes I need stable and Fedora on more recent hardware or where I need something closer to bleeding edge. Dabbled with Ubuntu, Mint and Gentoo. Didn't like them.
