In-Reply-To: <199604040943.LAA17350@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Chris, As the sysadmin for ALL of our UNIX boxes here at GE Drives, I can tell you HP/UX is NOT BSDish. HP/UX is based on SystemVRel3 (not even 3.2!) with HPisms abounding. SunO/S (up to SunO/S 5, Solaris 2.x) is based on BSD 4.2, with SunO/S 5 based on System V Rel 4.0. I have to maintain BOTH environments! ---- Stephen F.
