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! ^___^

@IRIX-tan: Really? I didn't know she was your favourite! (I suppose Mac OSX Leopard/Snow Leopard-tan is my favourite Unix-decendant... by association with my current favourite OS)
@AIX: She's a BFF of Linux-sama, if that helps.
@UUU-chan: OpenVMS-sama will be my favourite CIOST-tan forever, but yes, I do love UUU-chan's story (sad as it may be)....
@GECOS-tan: Hmm, UUU-chan would be the second OS-tan human weapon that GECOS-tan has come into possession of, no? >.>
At least my OpenVMS-sama will probably never listen to GECOS-tan. Hmph! (I imagine VMS-sama would be rather sympathetic to Multics-sama, and therefor, UNsympathetic to GECOS-tan.)
@MacSystem1-tan: You forgot that old PCDOS/Mac System 1-tan comic I did! This is the second drawing of her I've done.
@HP-UX-tan: yes, it does have to do with HP-UX's version name change. This Unices: if you've seen one, you've seen em all. Well, except for the OSXes. And even they look rather generic under a BASH shell...
@GNU Hurd-tan: That poor lolcow. :<
@SCO© Unix©-tan©: Oh noes, is she at it again?! (Fun fact: I imagine this drawing would illustrate her reaction to the Unix/Linux ship). xD
@VxWorks-tan: I couldn't fit one into the picture! ;__;

Well technically speaking, that's just pure-blood UNIX. [not including UNIX-sama herself. A more favored Unix would be FreeBSD-sama, although I just consider her a BSD-tan. ^^'
Oh yeaaaaaaah... technically-speaking, UNIX-sama was kind of like a living bioweapon herself. Course it backfired on GECOS-sama terribly.
Ah yes, I did forget about that drawing. Although honestly, you have drawn probably like +1000 to date, so hard to keep track... ^____^;
And since I did guess right on HP-UX-tan, can I have my present now?
*opens maw, awaiting delicious food*
*cries at lack of squished railgun* ;___;

Ah, I've always considered the BSD-tans to be pureblooded Unices (even though it's technically not true, IRL)...
Somehow, Multics-sama vs. GECOS-tan reminds me of Jacob vs. Man in Black on Lost. Man in Black (that would be GECOS-tan) could not kill/attack Jacob (that would be Multics-sama) directly, nor could he FORCE another person to do so. So Man in Black convinced Ben (Unix-sama, in this analogy) that Jacob didn't love or care about him and this, coupled with one final rebuke by Jacob, was enough to send Ben into a berserk attack mode against Jacob. Course, Jacob was killed while Multics-sama was just badly injured, but in both cases an unsuspecting (and rather powerless) pawn was used to topple a wildly powerful leader.
(Lost: I watch too much of it.)
Um... I don't have food for you, but I can pile 1000 drawings on you!

I happen to recall you mentioning HP-UX in one of your literature pieces (I think it was the gun one)-- what is the deal with it? Wikipedia has lots of info on it, but doesn't mention its weaknesses.
And yeah, some of my favourite OS-tans are characterizations of OSes I don't even really like.
Solaris-tan will have to be included in Unix-tans of the World: Part II (it's a 200-part series! Dayum, those Unices reproduce like rabbits).
Er... have some OpenVMS-tan as a consolation prize: [link] [link] [link]

I know, right? I hope she's suitably kickass (like the OS itself ^^).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yay! More OS-tan sketch goodness! 
I especially like IRIX-tan's new design- one of the most catching, and striking OS-tan designs ever. Very elegant and futuristic!
AIX-tan looks tougher than in her previous depiction, but retains the classy charm from it.
The monocle makes UnixWare-tan look more distinguished, and I like her dress! She looks to be the snooty type though, or maybe that's just because she's right by SCO-tan?
BWAHAHAHA! No page of old-school Unixes is complete without SCO-tan!
Poor UUU-chan! She doesn't have to be a living weapon, as there are a lot of Independent OS-tans who oppose the idea of her being used only as such! But considering how GECOS-tan is one of the most influential Independent OS-tans... no wonder why they don't band together often!
Mac System 1-tan looks adorable and feisty! Her appearance as a nonconformist and odd-one-out seem very appropriate!
HP-UX-tan looks great! Haven't seen her drawn in a long time, and I like her new appearance, though I don't get the reference. No points for meeeeee.
IIRC, in your early concept design, you listed her as an inventor type, and that could be something to make her stand out from the others.
HURD-tan's facial expression sums up her predicament in life: Nearly 20 years old and STILL hasn't reached version 1.0, and she's right next to SCO-tan!
That begs the question... Aside from Slackware-tan (for obvious reasons), is there ANYBODY who likes SCO-tan? I know she has a lot of enemies, including: Linux-tan, A/UX-tan (because A/UX is derived from SCO code, and A/UX can never become open-sourced without Apple getting into legal problems), AIX-tan, Red Hat-tan, Unix Ware-tan...
VxWorks-tan looks cute, confident, and sassy! Her life as a space traveler wielding a giant gun sounds AWESOME!

"New design"? Is the old one available anywhere?
BellaCieloHobbyist Digital Artist
@IRIX-tan: thanks, I'm pretty pleased with her too.
@UnixWare-tan: I don't really think she'd be snooty-- self-confident and very prim, for sure, but far more down-to-earth than her step-sister.
@UUU-chan: don't be so sure about GECOS-tan's standing in the CIOST-- to be honest, I always thought she'd be like the crazy old hag of the group. After all, she's not very powerful or technically advanced and retains only a small foothold of territory...
VMS-sama would have more say over what happens to UUU-chan; luckily for UUU-chan, VMS-sama rather likes her and would use her as a weapon under the more dire of circumstances. -.-
@HP UX: See: WWI Armistice anniversary being refferenced in HP UX's version name [link]
Wow, you have a good memory! Even I forgot about my early idea that she'd be an inventor. @@;
@HURD-tan: definitely the indecisive, procrastinatory and shy type-- enough so that Linux-tan effectively "usurped" her position
@SCO-tan: Hehe, I don't know if even Slackware-tan would like her (if she did, it'd probably be an act to make her uncomfortable). The upscale/professional Windows-tans would undoubtedly like her (because she opposes their #1 enemy, the Linuxes), but you'd be hard-pressed to find any friendlies in the Unix family.
I didn't know that A/UX was derived from SCO code! Does that make her a relative to Xenix-tan? O.o

Oh. UnixWare-tan is certainly dressed to impress, and isn't very cheerful, so it's easy to get wrong first impressions about her.
I thought GECOS-tan was one of the most influential CIOST members! Ahahaha! How the times change, and how she seems to have lost relevance to her comrades! However she has a lot of wisdom, tactical skills and is a master at manipulating others.
Luckily, VMS-sama, the leader doesn't support exploiting UUU-chan!
It's been mentioned that most of the members are either neutral/ambivalent/indifferent or opposed to exploitation, the only ones I know of being in favor are Tiny OS-tan, Sky OS-tan, GECOS-tan, and Argante-tan.
Poor HURD-tan. She's so notorious for procrastination, I had wondered which would come first: "Duke Nukem Forever" being released, or HURD reaching 1.0, and DNF got canceled altogether this May. Go for it, HURD-tan! Make it to 1.0!
The fact that Slackware-tan the Unix fangirl might not like SCO-tan really says something! You make a point about the professional Windows-tans liking her... even though the newer generations of Windows-tans are unaware of the ties that their oldest relatives, and SCO-tan technically have to the old MS-IBM Family!
I'm not sure whether A/UX-tan is a blood relative of Xenix-tan though. They probably are. They've probably never met though. It's also not a good sign when A/UX-tan, one of the most easy-going Unices ever, dislikes SCO-tan!

That's true.
Considering that GECOS is a very passe system (it was even relatively technologically-backward in the 60s and 70s @@), I have a hard time considering that GECOS-tan would have a lot of influence in the group-- but as you noted, she is an amazingly skillful character-assasin and a very slick talker.
I forgot that Tiny OS-tan and SkyOS-tan were in favour of UUU-chan being used as a weapon! To be honest, though, I quite forgot about the characters themselves.
HURD-tan is like a really bad waitress-- she takes forever to serve your food, and by then another waitress has come. Only it's Linux-tan. xD
It is rather ironic that the Windowses would like SCO Unix-tan without realizing her familial connection to Xenix-tan! I think they'd treat her more like family than the Unices would.
I guess that would make SCO Unix and A/UX-tan, like, half-or-full sisters? @@;

My English teacher made us write a paper in Newspeak >>
Yes it is, I wish I got HP-UX-tan's design
. No, but isn't XINU the evil Scientology Alien?

I think my English teacher would kill me if I tried to write in Newspeak, though I'd probably be an improvement for me. xD
Eh, something about a version name change to pay homage to the WWI armistice (read about it under release history) [link] It's a good excuse to make her design different from the other Unices... it's always nice to be a little random, ya know?
Isn't XINU the evil Scientology Alien?
One would think; actually, it's something much scarier...
