- We're getting a beta soon. I've never heard the name Destiny, though.
- I was calling it UnixWare. It sounds interesting, but my boss is no big fan
- of Unix, so he sees it as the merging of two evils, Unix and Netware.
- If the DOS and Windows support is good, it could be interesting. I hadn't
- heard about the OS/2 support. Is that just character-based 1.x stuff or full
- 2.0 compatibility? That'd be a neat trick.
-
- I'm a little concerned about some of the things they're leaving out
- though. Unix without TCP/IP seems a little lame. Also they got rid of
- a lot of advanced utilities that normally come with Unix. I assume it comes
- with X11, because they offer both Motif and OpenLook managers.
