[-- Attachment #1 --] Solaris 8 is now "open" and free. Sun told me that it is the superior UNIX of all UNICES--to end all UNICES! (--to that effect) And-- Solaris' kernel algorithm design is suppose to be better than BSD's. I want to learn UNIX, but computer scientists predict Linux will gradually fade away, leaving BSD; but now Solaris is free--won't that "crush" BSD? Won't everyone flock to Solaris? Should I now uninstall my OpenBSD? Please help me with guidance. --D Viglione, very confused student who wants to have faith in BSD, again. I got the impression from Sun that they have never heard of FreeBSD! Does that mean FreeBSD is not good enough for large corporations? dionv@spots.ab.ca [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3018.900" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Solaris 8 is now "open" and free.
