Tru64 is probably a good idea for an individual who is only
interested in _running_ a system, not playing with it. Bear in mind
of course this is a personal license. This personal license would
cost me $130CAD but a 5 user commercial license for Tru64 would cost
me $7800CAD. FreeBSD on the other hand will cost me only some spare
time.
