I'd say the "worst" *nix I ever played with was Domain/OS on a 
Apollo DN4000 (before they were bought by HP).  I picked up FOUR
of these beasts, with 21" mono monitors (which were BEAUTIFUL) along
with 2 full doc sets and 3 full media sets (and even older media on 
8" floppies) from an engineering firm here in town in '97 - funny thing
is, I ended up working for that company about a year later, and stayed
there for a year and a half.  The staff *laughed* at me when they found
out I was the poor schmuck who hauled them off. 8-)

Maybe not "worst", but "weirdest".
