Want to run old versions of UNIX for the PDP-11 on modern hardware and OSes like Linux, macOS, or FreeBSD? You can do it now for educational purposes and see how much Unix evolved over time. Ancient UNIX versions available for the PDP-11 include Version 1/5/7 UNIX & 2.11BSD UNIX. Give it a try.

TIL: Flexible records called the Floppy ROM were used to distribute software in the late 1970s. They were a cheaper alternative to using cassette tapes and the records held about 4K.

Do you remember how you first encountered FreeBSD?
For some, it was their dialup ISP, for others it was tinkering with pfSense or FreeNAS at home. For many, it was realizing giants like Netflix leaned on FreeBSD to stream content worldwide.
