If you want to go back to your "Golden Unix Years" [ or more likely
the Xenix years ] I'd suggest the FreeBSD 4.11. It will run on
current hardware. You didn't say what hardware you are going to be
running on but some of the older SW doesn't like the new hardware.
I'm getting older and older - and there seems to be no way to
preventing that is acceptable - and I took over the tech side of
two different ISPs when I was older than you are now.
My first BSD experience was a 2.6, and it was like going back to
Xenix 1.x on my old Radio Shack 16 - where I got hooked on Unix in
1983. All of a sudden I was 'home again' and you're not supposed
to be able to do that [see a comment in a reply to a post by Tony].
And speaking from the vantage point of a few year older than you,
one thing that keeps me from getting older [mentally] is learning
new things. And JPR and Bob Stockler - both on this list - are
older than I. And even my son says "you are interesting to be
around". What greater compliment could I get?
