I was blown away by that when I booted it on my 486 way back when. I was not quite skilled enough to get networking going under linux, and the modem I had was hell to setup in windows (plug and pray!)… Under QNX everything worked out of the box, and it ran circles around Win 95. Really impressive

Lately, mastodon (and now lemmy!). It’s also been super handy as a “swiss army knife” unix system. Need to test access outside my network? ssd -D to sdf. Need to copy files between two systems that would normally be a PITA? scp to and from sdf! Also nice to have access to a bsd machine since everything I personally run is Linux.

I’ve also used it in the past for Plan 9 learning and a couple other random things here and there.
