It's got a pretty solid IP stack, networks well, runs NFS and can fit nicely into a network of IP and NETBIOS. The new version (which I hope will be in client as well as in server) has the AIX journaling file system and logical volume manager. Put Win95 application support as well and it'd be my work desktop instead of switching between Unix and Win95. (I'd even purchase it for work use. They've mandated Win95 or NT -- and with a Pentium Overdrive on a 486 chassis NT's not an option and 95's networking flakes out.) It's my second favorite OS behind FreeBSD. (It just recently displaced VAX/VMS in my heart. FreeBSD pushed that one out about a year ago. I just got a Vax and I'm waiting for the OpenVMS cd to arrive.)
