Coherent OS

This was my first home UN*X, I purchased it to replace MS-DOS. The hard-copy book was well worth the price.

I ported my homegrown utilities from DOS to IN/ix then to Coherent. Later, many of these would end up in my repository. Most of my current Utilities had their start on Coherent.

In 1995 the company closed down, so I ended up moving to Slackware. I think the main reason for the closure was a combination of no TCP and Linux. I consider this the first proprietary OS Linux killed off.
