- I don't know any Unix with good support, (my firm bought a sun clone,
- a service man from this firm "and how do I get the floppy back out of
- the drive?" answer for non-suns - "eject")
- (Come on Larry, its your turn to advertise for Dell...)
- I work with SUN-OS 4.1.1 and SCO-Unix 3.2.4 and all things I know, I
- know because of reading usenet or debugging wrong running programs...
- In my opinion it's the cheapest and easiest way to get
- informations about your system - the only thing I would prefer
- would be a mail to a programmer ot the system...(but I fear that all
- SCO-programmers are shot after releasing the system because of C2 >;-) )
- An answer from a system admin is mostly very more reality than an
- answer from the vendor of the system..
