Yeah generating keys on legacy systems is always a drag. I can remember the first time installing on a SUN 5, and once it was generating keys, it was time to take a break.

There is still NetBSD. There was an attempt at getting Linux to run at some point but I think it’s been halted around 2013.

My first brush with UNIX was on a VAX running BSD. (Mt. Xinu)
