Collected advice on Unix CLI Design & Implementation (Alan Coopersmith's Weblog)
A Solaris-specific view on Unix tool design. (Not always followed in the past -- I have not-very-fond memories of a Sun disk array where the admin command was "rm6".)

Tilde.Club: I had a couple drinks and woke up with 1,000 nerds — The Message — Medium
"This computer ran a Unix-based operating system. It was located somewhere in Virginia. I went to bed. When I woke up 100 people were asking for accounts." An author discovers the social aspects of Unix systems; there are actually lots of shared machines like this around, quietly keeping groups of people happy. (bookmarks.offog.org is running on one...)

Coherent is now free software. The source tree is a bit of a mess -- but it has version control information back to 1990 for much of the code, so it'd be eminently suitable for a reconstruction project at some point.

"For a very long time, the smallest Unix system for the PDP-11 compatible machines - LSX, adapted from Unix V6 by Dr. Heinz Lycklama - was feared lost because it was never officially released outside of Bell Labs and nobody bothered to keep it for posterity." Now they have.

"FreeMiNT is a free, open-source operating system for 16/32bit Atari computers and clones, based on the original MiNT by Eric Smith and officially adopted by Atari Corp. It is compatible with TOS, but adds a lot of new functionality not available in any other TOS-compatible operating system."
