Could you tell us what was the current BSD version in 1974?

You may want to explain us why most Sun users are running SunOS 4.1.x
(BSD based) and why Sun is still selling and supporting this "obsolete"
version, since they tried (and are trying) very hard to make Solaris 2.x
their flagship OS.
You could also explain us why SysVR4 has integrated _a lot_ of BSD
features (sockets, remote commands, to name only a few).

What to you mean by "HERE"? comp.os.386bsd.misc by any chance? Hint:
get a clue a read the Newsgroups line before asking silly questions.

Same remark about "here".
If you think there is any connection between the commercial success of
an OS and its superiority, have a closer look at MSDOS.
Note: I'm a Linux user and I read this in comp.os.linux.misc, but
bullshit is bullshit, no matter from what "camp" it comes.
