Well, no shooting me, but I am trying to find a good PC UNIX and I haven't
decided. I can get just about anything, include UnixWare, SCO, LINUX,
FreeBSD, and NetBSD. 

I'm leaning toward NetBSD, but I need to make sure that it has what I need.
First, the PC version, what does it emulate? Also, what standards does it
support? I am an SVR4 (no shooting) programmer who uses a Solaris 2.5 at
work, and I need something that is more or less source-compatible.

Is NetBSD what I need?
