I believe that a PE and SDK from : Information Foundation is about $259.00. What is the price of Solaris : as I do not know. Solaris 2 user is $450, but unless you are comparing stand alone systems, NFS is a must so the PE version would need to have this added. How much is NFS for the PE version? Also as I remember there are alot of commands that most users consider standard UNIX that do not come with the PE version. How much to add these commands? Does NIS(+) come with the PE version? As a stand alone system, the PE system with the new $99 native C++ compiler and *new* graphical debugger (thank god!) makes a nice little package, just Novell putting the missing commands back would make it a complate system. -- Regards, Bryan Althaus bryan@krf.com
