- I'm looking for references to BSDI's UNIX. What I'm looking for:
-
- 1. Pros/cons/reviews from people who USE IT. Specifically,
- a. how is the multi-tasking performance under load (ie. trying to
- use it interactively while a compile is happening in the
- background).
- b. how are real X-apps on a 486/33 running it from a SCSI disk
- (ie. Wordperfect, spread-sheets, etc.).
- c. how reasonable is the X server on a non-local bus machine vs.
- a local bus machine at high res (>= 1Kx800x8 bits)?
- Can you run twm in opaque mov mode and it be 'smooth'?
-
- 2. An updated list of supported hardware.
-
- 3. How I can contact BSDI directly.
-
- Please respond by email to 'asah@cory.Berkeley.EDU' or to this account.
- I will post a summary.
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- Thanks again,
- -A.Sah'92
