Shoot, that one statement covers, what, 9 OS's?

There are so MANY more than this!

For a partial list see the PDP-11 Emulation Webpage:
http://www.aracnet.com/~healyzh/pdp11emu.html

For a "complete" list see:
http://www.village.org/pdp-11/faq.pages/pdpOSes.html

Depending on how you count there is something like 20-34 different OS's.
