The 'UNIX' system in Jurassic Park was, in fact, UNIX

There's a version for modern Unices: http://fsv.sourceforge.net/

Also, this gets posted on HN quite regularly :)

I always worry about posting 'repeated' links (as you can tell I'm a bit new to HN). Is there an accepted way to lessen this?

Don't worry, someone will tell you.

And then what? Does the voting system prevent repeated links from getting noticed much? Right now it sounds like I should fire-and-forget links without bothering to check if they've been posted; I don't want to waste people's time if it's already been around.

> And then what?

Repeated posts are not a big problem. They allow newcomers to discuss things that were already discussed.

If it's "hacker folklore" (I think this counts) and it's not a brand-new account by one of the guys who were there, it's probably already been posted ;)

Does anyone here know if the Jurassic Park infrastructure was ever documented anywhere, based on the nuggets of information in the books and films?

I realise that wouldn't have much real world value, but it would be fun to read through.

I once bought an SGI Indy for $20 just to try to run that one program, but I got bogged down with the complex process required to install IRIX and threw the box out when I moved.
