Looks like you need to wake up. Since I posted that SunOS and Solaris
are different (I used the names and didn't just say SunOS 5.x, even though
Sun certainly does and it's OK to do so) any fool should have known
better... 'cept you I guess.
: shipped nowdays, exactly why I will *NOT* buy sparcs anymore.
Then what will you buy? Everyone else is going to SysV or OSF. Besides,
nothing stops you from running BSD or some other OS on a Sparc.

Your welcome assmunch. I've got a BSD machine to play with too. I have
an Atari 800 too, running just fine. It's also a dead end too. IBM,
DEC, HP, Sun, (insert company name here) are all moving to SysV. That's
what I meant by saying BSD is dead. I'm talking about what UNIX you
will see being sold from now on. It's all SysV. Doesn't keep you or me
or anyone from running BSD. I'll be running BSD as well as Linux pretty
soon and it will run fine I'm sure. It's still dead by the definition I
gave.
My machine at work runs SunOS 4.1.1 (called Solaris 1.?? your
ill-informed BS notwithstanding). Sun changed the name of their OS and
even the old BSD based 4.x.x OS is called Solaris.
: As for development there is alot of BSD
: development going on right now, just not from Berkeley's commercial entity.
Sure, but not in the commercial world where UNIX is going to live or die.
What we use in research, schools, and home systems isn't what rules the world
of UNIX anymore.
: This whole BSD is dead shit just doesn't add up missy.
Adds up fine if you stay awake while you read missy.
