   Think you're reaching pretty far back there buddy, back to when Unix   
   didn't have any GUI...   
      
   But even then, I can recall us having a Unix mini in the office circa   
   1983 - - it wasn't my project, but I can recall that the guy working on   
   it ran into issues because its flavor of Unix wasn't the same flavor   
   that they were familiar with, which apparently came down to which   
   manufacturer ("brand") the hardware was.
