OS-tan Sketchbook pg. 5

A fifth installment of my "let's do random doodles of random OS-tans" series.
There's a definite theme here, it's Unixes. Don't ask how Unununium-tan and Mac System 1-tan snuck in...
CLOCKWISE FROM FAR LEFT:
IRIX-tan. Like her OS, IRIX-tan has a great love for aesthetics, 3d graphics and virtual reality. Unlike her OS, she can generate holograph-like projections.
AIX-tan, an IBM Unix. ~pwuerrer suggested a make AIX-tan look a little tougher, I hope I was able to. She's friendly toward the Linuxes and fond of Multics-sama (the Multicians claim that AIX is a Multics-like posing as a Unix, but they're a bit hyperbolic right?).
UnixWare-tan. While n old school propriety type, she appreciates the usefulness of open sourcery and practises a bit of it herself. She refused to be an apprentice to Xenix-tan (a reference to the lack of MS Xenix-derrived code in UnixWare) and strongly dislikes NT-tan and her step-sister, SCO Unix-tan.
Unununium (UUU)-tan. She represents the semi-deadish Unununium Operating Engine [link] , which was/is an ambitious project to build an entire OS from scratch. UUU-tan is a androidic young girl capable of great psionic energy despite her chronic, coma-like condition. She belongs to the Confederation of Independent OS-tans.
GECOS-tan. Multics-sama's bitterest rival, Unix-sama's early caretaker, she pretty much stirs up conflict wherever she goes. This entry sums her up pretty well: [link]
Mac System 1-tan, based on *Kattlanna's design. Feisty, rabble-rousing and free-spirited, she carries a large hammer and likes talking Newspeak (both references to the 1984-themed advert for the first Mac computer).
HP-UX-tan. I know next to nothing about HP-UX, except that it's YAU (yet another Unix) and competitive to OpenVMS. A billion points go to whoever can guess why she's dressed in WWII-themed clothing...
GNU Hurd/whatever-the-hell-the-GNU-kernel-is-tan. She's an absentminded (or just plain absent) server who harbors a slight grudge against Linux-tan for stealing her glory.
SCO© Unix© [aka OpenServer©]-tan, with a cameo by her Hordes of Lawyers©. SCO Unix-tan is Xenix-sama's daughter/professional lolcow, who enjoys filing nuisance lawsuits against Linux-tan, AIX-tan and whoever else happens to stoke her ire. She's highly paranoid and believes Linux-tan is a direct Unix descendant come to upend the old family. Adding to the lulz is a popular conspiracy that says she was actually hired by the Windows-tans to spread mistrust in the Linuces (inspired by this [link]). She got her ass kicked by Linux-tan and/or UnixWare-tan in the past, and that seems to have temporarily put a damper on her suehappiness.
You can fill-in-the-blanks as to what she's saying here. Ideas to get you started:
"if Slackware-tan calls me pretty again, I'll sue her into the STONE AGE!"
"Unix-like-- yeah, right-- Linux-tan IS one of us!"
"OBJECTION!"
"Ceaaassse and deeesssssist!"
Finally, VxWorks-tan. VxWorks in a Unix(-like?) OS used in a variety of embedded computers, everything from the Apache helicopter to Linksys routers to the Mars rovers. VxWorks-tan is an adventurer who enjoys space-travel and carries a giant railgun. Though it's not pictured here. ;__;

These never get old,... on the contrary, I think there's too few of these... ^_________^
Okay, time for a quickie roundabout....
IRIX-hime: probably my favorite "true" UNIX that's not UNIX-sama herself. ^^
AIX-sama: Well she does look a little tougher looking now. But since she is oft-neglected, she doesn't seem to have much flavor as a characer [yet]. ^.^
UnixWare-sama: Oh yeah, she would definitely hate SCO-bouzu right about now.
Love the snooty, old-school appearance. ^^
UUUUUUUUUUUUUU-chan: Probably my favorite CIOST-tan, she gets nothing but unconditional love and approval from this pig! ^^b
Cool, calculating, powerful, and yet so fragile and sap-laden, it's just a perfect blend of awesome plot points. ^___^v
The revamped uniform is even better, btw. ^______^
[and who wouldn't love that cascading hair?]
GECOS-sama: lololololololol >v<
Indeed, UUUUUUUUU-chan is something of her favorite "toy" among the CIOST-tan's who are still gullible enough to listen to her (GECOS-sama's power of persuasion ensures that there's always quite a few of those). ^^'
System1-tan: Yay! Spunkness!!!!!! >v<
This commemorates the first time you've drawn I-chan, congrats! ^^v
*applaud applaud*
HP-UX-sama: Yeah, another forgettable YAU. Then again, it's not like the UNIX HQ thrives for its originality.
As for your challenge, does it have anything to do with version 11.11 being changed to something else as an homage to the World War I Armistice anniversary? ^___^
GNU Hurd-tan: Oh, have you heard? She's gonna be released next year! I swear! ^____^
I second her sentiments, poor thing.
SCO© Unix© [aka OpenServer©]-bouzu: BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! >v<
Actually, bankrupty court has been stuffed with moneygrubbers, and thus illegally kind to SCO, so she's renewing her offensive of annoyingness again, now empowered by a greedy bankruptcy trustee willing to suck whatever money the company has left before high-tailing it out of there.
It might end sooner rather than later, but by GAWWWWWWWD she just doesn't quit. ^^'
VxWorks-tan: Awww, no railgun. ;___;
But....
Wow! What a looker! Slickness incarnate! I love how you did her face and hair here! ^___^
