- News OS 4.1 is a BSD system, whereas 5.0 is a SVR4.

-
- I don't remember having seen anything working better on the 5.0.
- I recently (6 months) upgraded with the kind support fo Sony USA,
- as Sony Microsystems has stopped its activity in Europe, from
- 5.0.1 to 5.0.2, and I think it's even worse that the previous
- version.
-
- Except is you have special needs in System V release 4 (and I doubt
- 5.0 it's a real one), I would strongly advice to stay in the BSD 4.1
- [I have a 4.0 soon to be upgraded on a Sony desktop and it really
- works fine].
