- Yes, at Augsburg University folks are not moving to Solaris 2.x.
- We could have gotten it for free (Software maintenance contract), but we
- will not renew the contract and run SunOS 4.1.2 instead.
- Sun's new products aren't an option anyway, because we cannot run SunOS
- 4.1.? on them. So I guess we'll be using the Sun machines until they
- break apart and then move to a different vendor (probably DEC).
