- Is it really? I thought you had to be SQUID compacent to be called
- Unix, and I don't think v7 is.
-
- I'd still rather have v7 than any of the junk available to me now. You
- could actually run 60 simultanious users on a PDP-11/70 with 2MB. Our
- PDP was less endowed, but it could handle 40 users---yes slowly, but
- not painfully so. Then we upgraded to a VAX-11/780 and BSD 4.2. Things
- got _noticablly_ slower, and by the time we retired the machine (three
- days ago) we were running 4.3Mt. Xinu and the absolute maximum was 10
- logins and almost everything was painfully slow. Now we have 2 670MPs
- with 128MB RAM which can probablly handle more simultanious users than
- the PDP, but I wonder if that will still be true once Solaris 2.0
- comes out.
