I remember that, and by Sainsbury's always struck me as being in the wrong place - a constrained site, poorly connected, and too close to the existing station so it duplicates access for a lot of people. A bit further out, by Fulbourn Tesco, offers better bus links and expands the catchment.

Of course, this was back in a time when people had actually used Unix.
You can still use Unix, sort of, for nothing. Install an illumos distro. That's should be very, very roughly System V Release 4.

Not to mention the fact that it’s Linux that usually borrows from innovations that the BSD and Solaris & Illumos communities created, for decades, not the other way around.

Hm, that might not work, the Ultra 1 had support ripped out a long time ago - the UltraSPARC-I cpu was never supported in 64-bit mode as I recall (although the E variant at least has a supported network card).

Yes, it’s an area that I have earmarked for a deep dive one day. Oxide using it for their hypervisor and the people associated with the illumos / Solaris sphere signal to me that it absolutely should not be written off.
