Hello,

We are considering getting a number of small notebook or palmtop
computers,
equipped with some sort of UNIX for our scientists and students.

Obviously, we have looked at FreeBSD and Linux (which we have also
tried).
What we need is some kind of comparison between the free Unix releases
on the PC, between the free and commercial Unix versions (SCO,
Solaris,...)
on the PC, and a comparison between the free Unix versions on the PC
and the best Unix versions on workstations and servers (AIX, DEC Unix,
HP-UX, Irix, Solaris,...).

We are particularly interested in a comparison of the features of the
OS's themselves (kernel, libraries) rather than things like Gnu
applications.
Things like UNIX 95/Xopen standards conformance is a very critical
factor.

If you have any pointers to where we could find such comparisons we
would appreciate it very much if you could take the time and e-mail
them to us.

Thank you,

Bo
