Don't be silly, I'm referring to the operating system to come.... the
operating system that has not yet been designed, but will be designed
by FreeBSD/NetBSD..... but it may take a while.
: May be you don't believe it, but I am using NetBSD at home - to play with it.
Why shouldn't I ? I'm running Windows 3.11, OS/2 Warp Connect, Windows 95
and two different versions of FreeBSD. Windows 95 _IS_ an operating system,
it's just misunderstood:
Windows 3.11: Nothing to configure.
Does nothing.
Crashes doing it.
Windows 95: A user can configure it.
Does many things.
Crashes sometimes.
OS/2 Connect: A competent user can configure it.
Does _most_ things.
Crashes occasionally.
FreeBSD: A computer professional can configure it.
Does _almost_ (potentially _absolutely_) everything.
Crashes almost never.
IMO (although I'm not quite qualified to say so), NetBSD is the same class
as FreeBSD, Windows NT fits in between OS/2 & FreeBSD, and DOS is the same
class as Windows 3.11.
