I touched a Solaris 10 system for the first time about a month ago.
Some non-Sun external software (MySQL, samba, gcc, ncftp etc) was
installed in the directory/usr/sfw/bin.
I was confident using these third party programs, knowing they
were Safe For Work.
I'm reading Gene Kranz's book "Failure is Not an
Option" and there's a nice mention early on about
how he gets a lift from the airport to the base
by some madman in sunglasses and an open necked
shirt who gets saluted by the guards at the gate
and drives 100 miles per hour and faster. Wondering
why civilian speedsters get saluted at the gate,
Kranz realises he's met his first Mercury astronaut,
who was in fact Gordo Cooper.
