- I am in need of a reference which compares OS/2 and UNIX. I chose
- to go with a UNIX workstation for development of a graphics
- application and need to justify myself. My main reason for choosing
- UNIX was its virtual memory capability (as I will be graphing heaps and
- heaps of time series data) which I did not believe was possible in mid
- '91 with OS/2. There is also the issue of disks speeds and memory
- of PCs vs graphics workstations.
-
- Can anyone point me to a written reference? I would appreciate any e-mail
- to juanita@bpl.canberra.edu.au
