- You would have learned that by far, at least when networking is
- considered, free UNIX are better than commercial ones, for security,
- reliability, extensibility and ease-of-use.
-
- For example, Linux on the PC can be _installed_ very easily through
- the network via NFS with only answering a few easy questions.
-
- Amiga NetBSD seems very stable and easy to install; Amiga Linux is a lot
- newer but is evolving very fast.
-
- You never get a nice point-of-click interface with free UNIXes
- for system administration: but people believing that (for example)
- Solaris 2.4 system administration can be done otherwise than doing
- quite everything by yourself did not set up interesting things :-)
-
- I am currently really disappointed by commercial UNIXes. And, like
- you do, people usually just do not trust free UNIX (even if they are
- usually more responsive to security threats, new features, and so on).
- The future for UNIX is thus alas not that bright as a commercial
- solution.
