Yep, there was not a lot of Un*x desktop in the 90s, mainly SCO, SVR4, BSD, SunOS1/SunOS2/Solaris.
It was the great time of mainframe, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Silicon graphics IRIX, and we had dozens of TX (X Terminal, a thin client running local X). I was a sysadmin on those dinosaurs, it was a good times. Installing HPUX8 with magnetic tapes, what a time… you know that the tar command means tape archiver, right?
And before that it was 8" floppy disk we used on older system like GCOS6 / DPS6 / Mini6, google it, it as fun :) the one I used was exactly as the one on this picture http://www.feb-patrimoine.com/projet/gcos6/gcos6.htm
