- BSD 4.2??? Bleargh.... And with 4.4 nearly ready for release (I'm a bit out of
- tuch so it may already be out..).

- Personally, i think that RISCiX is overpriced, and comes with too much...
- if Acorn got rid of the Motif / X.desktop bundle, and perhaps made NFS,
- TCP/IP (is SLIP available under RISCiX??) and similar optional, I'm sure
- that for about 100 pounds for the base package, I'd buy it.....

- (I've been told that Motif sources cost #1000 on their own, so how much is
- it for a binary distribution, i.e. how much could Acorn knock off the
- price if they dropped Motif??)
