Re: I'm always pleased when BSD get a mention
I went from VAX VMS to Unix. I could make VMS do almost anything I wanted after 10 years of it. It took a while to get anywhere near that kind of fluidity with Unix. I think you learn a subset of 'computers' that is sufficient for almost any task you need and even though unix had everything I needed it took a long while to work out where it was. It didnt help the machine I was using was managed by someone who never found out how to turn of full disk checking on bootup which was a good hour or so of the day drinking enough tea to interrupt all later procedures.
