   What was the first version of Unix or Linux Server you were ever paid to work on?

     Question is vague. Paid to work on - as in - work on the Linux distro itself? Or work on - as in work on software that ran on the distro?

     First Unix/Linux I worked on (used) was probably SCO.

     First Unix/Linux I was paid to work on itself, was Ubuntu in 2012-2021.

     @nixCraft If you mean “work with”, then whatever Debian release was current stable in 2010.

     @nixCraft I've never paid for Linux. Guess I'm too petty for ignoring all fancy donation UI before downloading Ubuntu...

     @nixCraft I started as a tech support agent, clients had all sorts of servers, I don't even remember now. Most were Debian/Ubuntu. One poor soul even had a LAMP stack on a Mac and I've also seen an Arch based Server. Our in-house servers were Debian.

     @nixCraft SunOS 3.2 & BSD 4.3 (w/mods) The cool mod that I remember was that if the BSD machine got loaded down (i.e. you were waiting for the prompt to come back) you could hit cntrl-T and get similar output to “uptime”. It was built into the terminal driver!

     @nixCraft It was SCO Xenix, which no one should ever touch unless being paid to do so.
