The mid 1990s for me, OpenBSD came out in 1996 and Solaris was Solaris was like 1992. I was admiring a Solaris SPARC station back around 1997 that had a gnarly install if I remember correctly. It was on 3.5” floppies and I still have that SPARC station and the original Solaris OS sitting in the basement collecting dust. At one point that SPARC was being used by some of us working with the PHP group to diagnose file system limits on Solaris and build PHP binaries back when I was involved in PHP development. Fun times.
My first Linux install was like Red Hat 5.2 or something and it was much nicer.

Oh man. I remember Solaris. I tried to install that on something and never got it running.
It’s absolutely insane how much progress was made from 1995-2000.
