I'm looking for a new (modern) UNIX package. I was considering BSDI, but after seeing
the current prices I've changed my mind, and will start the hunt for a new UNIX
again. $3,000 is a big jump from the old price of about $600. Maybe I should give
that free Windows NT 3.5 package Microsoft gave me another consideration?
There's always NetBSD and FreeBSD. They don't cost a dime, except for
the media they're "printed" on....
