This was one of the more popular research versions to leave Bell Labs.
| Unix v6 | |
 Logging into a v6 unix system | |
| Type: | Multitasking, multiuser |
|---|---|
| Creator: | AT&T/Western Electric |
| Architecture: | PDP-11, Interdata 32b theoretically portable |
| This Version: | v6 |

Platforms
These are the known platforms to run Unix v6
PDP-11
the PDP-11 was the primary platform which Unix v6 was written on. All other v6's can trace themselves back to this version.
Interdata 32b
The Interdata 32b was the first port to a 32 bit platform outside of Bell Labs.
Folk Lore
v6 Unix is perhaps famous because of the "Lions book". John Lions ( bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lions ) wrote up an excellent disection of the unix kernel, and taught it in his OS classes. The book became *the* guide to the unix internals, and was photocopied over & over...
v6 is also important, because it was the first non AT&T port of unix, when it was ported to the Interdata 32b.
