I want to use it as a foundation for a better OS. It depends on what you consider complete for the market you are targeting. I simply want to add value (in software & service) and then be able to sell it under my label. As an example, Sun Solaris and HP-UX are system V based I believe, but they don't sell it as Sun System V or HP System V. Each vendor has it's own names and features. That is all I am saying / asking. Ian
