And the idea of creating a virtual machine by myself seemed preposterous. But I was a little scared of Linux if truth be told. I have occasionally downloaded Linux based VMs from OTN – and used as the server side in my development efforts quite happily – and I was supplied with such Linux VMs by several very helpful colleagues no many occasions, for example for doing the work in the various beta-programs AMIS is involved in. Then I started using Virtual Machines and even they had Windows as their client operating system most of the times. But in later years, on my own laptop, I took the easy way out and succumbed to Windows and GUIs.
That’s where I acquired from cd, vi, sed, grep and ls skills. When I started my career at Oracle, back in 1994, I had to do a little bit of development work on a UNIX machine.
