- SPARCstations can now run Solaris 2.x which is SVR4.0, you have to
- pay about $7-8k for the privledge tho unless you can scam through
- school or employer. Solaris 2.1 is real SVR4 although NIS+ is
- a HUGE pain in the ass, they went from a flat text file to
- the heirarchal database from hell... B^(.
-
- AmigaUNIX is good compared against a 386 running SVR4. Against
- anything else it's 25Mhz '030 implementation is way to slow.
-
- Hopefully C= will pay for an 040 port one of these days although
- I think Mach will be done long before that, i.e. in a year or
- so... B^(.
