My first personal system, = which ran SLS Linux, came about in 1992. I am a member of the Vintage Computing Federation, and have given talks = and made exhibits on Unix history at VCF=E2=80=99s museum, in Wall, New = Jersey. I have also had the pleasure to show Brian Kernighan and Ken = Thompson, who are two of my computing heroes, my exhibit on the origins = of BSD Unix on the Intel 386. I learned C from Brian=E2=80=99s book, as = probably did many others here. I have spent my entire professional career supporting Unix, in some form = or another. I started with SunOS at the National Institutes of Health, = in Bethesda, Maryland, and moved on to Solaris, HP-UX, SCO, and finally = Linux. I worked for AT&T, in Virginia, in the early 2000s, but there = were few vestiges of Unix present, other than some 3b1 and 3b2 monitors = and keyboards.=20 I current work for Red Hat, in Tyson=E2=80=99s Corner, Virginia, as a = principal sales engineer, where I spend most of my time teaching and = presenting at conferences, both in person and virtual. Thank you to everyone here who created the tools that have enabled my = career and love of computing! - Alexander Jacocks=
