I too used OS-9 for many years, altho just the 8 bit version on the Rat Shack 
Color Computer.  The big thing about the OS which you didn't mention is that 
it was often used for 'real-time' operations in manufacturing sites around 
the country.  It is amazing what we did with 64K of memory. There is still a 
very active group using the O.S and the C.C.

With that back ground, Linux was not too difficult to understand.

My in-between time was with OS/2 which didn't have the support of enough IBM 
brass. Way ahead of Win 3.1 and even W-95 in many respects.
