I recently found a site, that has obsolete operating systems, I found a gem on there; that I've not seen in a long time. An it was a version of the original Unix, an it's from AT&T; an they made Unix. Now brief note, AT&T created Unix in 1970, now the one I got was released in 1981. Which maybe since I'm one of the original Unix admins from days of old (yes I'm showing my age). But I actually started out on Unix variants, like Solaris and FreeBSD; in fact I still use those environments. An along side Linux; which Linux; Solaris and BSD, were all based around the original Unix. A bit of history tonight folks; tata loveys lol

Original digital gangsters
The ones that have been doing IT for awhile, know that cyber-security is a very important resource. Especially for systems administers, but it seems like the ones that get it; are one's running a Unix like environment. But whether you run windows, mac, or BSD and Linux environments; cyber security is becoming evermore needed and important. An the importance, is more important then I can put into words; an a lot of it can be done by themselves mostly.

PCBSD and Linux Mint OS's
In the fore mentioned title, I've used a lot of nix environments, but these two nix environments are my favorite desktop environments. First let's start with PCBSD, it's more of a traditional Unix environment. An it has a long history with Unix, with Unix started to being developed in 1969; being completed in 1970. The BSD forks were developed in the 1980's at ERL which stands for electronics research lab in caltech Berkeley! In fact BSD stands for Berkeley software distribution. Now onto Linux Mint, after Linus Torvalds had created the Linux kernel a wide and varied versions of the Linux kernel was developed to many different forms the best one in my book is Linux Mint. It has the power of ubuntu beside it but with a very clean and polished graphical user interface. But more importantly it has the Linux kernel behind it. So I encourage people to try both to see what they prefer. Because this is about freedom of choice; freedom of speech. An last but not least individual freedoms..
