Wow, I haven't heard Varian Vortex mentioned in a long time.  The first
real computer that I got to play with was a Varian, back in the
mid-70's.  I think I still have some of the manuals.  After that it was
Univac Chi/OS, Digital RT, Harris Vulcan / VOS, Masscomp RTU, Sun SunOS
/ Solaris, a bit of NetBSD, FreeBSD starting somewhere in the 2.2.x
timeframe, and more recently CentOS, Fedora, and Debian.

I worked with 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD back in the 70s and 80s. I moved to other
OSes (Digital RT, RSX and VMS an Varian Vortex) and returned in about 1999
to FreeBSD 3.0. I've been using FreeBSD ever since. It's been wonderful and
I am so grateful to all of the people who have keeping it going over the
years. I try to contribute when I can, but I am not a coder, so it's in
other ways.

Great job!

I remember when I used my first FreeBSD release (2.0.5) in 1995. Aftter trying 
Xenix, SCO Unix
and some Linux distributions it was like a humble PC became a real workstation. 

It was like entering a parallel universe where the impossible became true!
