The PDP-11 can run a varity of vinitage versions of UNIX (one which were actually disributed with the name UNIX.) This is perfectly legal now see this web site for details and downloads:
1BSD UNIX through 2.11BSD UNIX all run on various PDP-11's. An 11/34, such as the one the parent article pointed to, can run 2.9BSD but not later versions since it lack "split Instruction and Data (I & D)" where two 64KB segments can be used for one UNIX process, one to hold the code (text segment) and one to hold the program's data (BSS and stack segments.) A PDP-11/73 has this feature and can run 2.11BSD which is still being developed a bit on the Internet.
2.11BSD provides sockets, job control (SIGSTOP, ^Z, etc.), long file names, program overlays to go beyond 64K + 64K I & D (this can only extend the I part), simulated virtual data space to exetend the D part.
You don't even need a real PDP-11/73 to try it out. You can use Harti's Begemot p11 PDP-11/73 emulator under Linux and FreeBSD. This emulator does not spin the CPU when idle so you can leave it running all day without it getting in your way.
Look for the directory PDP-11/Emulators/Begemot-2.5
You can run computers that were far to large for one person to own or that require vast amounts of 3-phase electricity. California makes it hard to operate a DEC PDP-10 KL10 DECsystem 1090 due to the price of electricity.
You can stick an emulator in a funny or surprizing location and wait for someone to run across it. (Why is this system running VMS???)
You can repopulate the inside of an old case (lets say that you got an old case with no computer in it from some salvage shop) with a Pee Cee mobo and then run an emulator on it to pretend it's the real deal.
The "box-inside-a-box" aspect itself is facinating. Seeing an OS boot on something that is just software too makes you wonder about the nature of reality.
Seems that one day I checked and our ORDB filter was letting more and more stuff through over time. Traced it down to the fact that ORDB only blocks open relays not open proxies.
Now I read about Theo's gloating over how his s/w is going to send 550's back. Well guess what? You can't 550 an open proxy.
Ah, but you are forgetting that it also does one other thing: it creates the appearance that Linux is being used more. I think that by creating an illusion of something happening the chance that someone will go along with it and it will actually happen increases. I remember some old David Bowie interview where he confessed to fudging his stardom in the beginning and it became real.

Are you completely sure that no network daemon can be coerced into calling fpathconf() repetitively?

It is run by humans and that's the problem--it's simply not run by saints. No big business is; they all get big by doing this sort of thing.

So are you saying that Linux is vaporware? I'm talking about the illusion of the acceptance of the technology.
Well, it works for the chinese:

Well, it does add "GNU" to everything
Try running "strings -" on the binaries.
Last time I checked it added "OpenBSD" to a lot of things not "GNU".
I'd say so:
