Does "Unix System IV" exist? It seems that they jumped from System III to System V.

Wrote a few more chapters, and boom. It's 23:30. The /Forks and Wars/ chapter of my Unix History is going smoothly. However there is so much info that would make the text incomprehensable, I think I'll add "bonus" subpages, like timeline.

Which Unix forks would you consider as the most important/noteable except of BSD, Solaris and Xenix? Have you used others maybe?

In the mean time, Mad Dog!

I have a #unix question. I’m running #Slackware. I log into my machine from the console and use startx to start X11. By default, my terminal app (urxvt) does not start a login shell. I know I can configure it to do this. The question is: should I? And why?

So, when I aim for portable C code that works on all *nixes, is the "Single Unix Specification" now the authorative reference, instead of just POSIX?

I think I missed that train. Advice from experienced devs appreciated.

Want to run the same command again? In many shells (e.g., tcsh, zsh, bash) you can type "!!" to recall last command and run it. Example:

apt install nginx # missed sudo
sudo !! # this will run sudo apt install nginx
