I once had my fingers on a Siemens MX300i, which was running Sinix. It
was some months after I installed Solaris 2.0 on our first Sparc
system. Almost everything, I learend about Solaris was the same on the
Siemens system. I read an article about the sceduling classes and the
administration commands. They were the same on the Siemens
box. Sceduling classes really sounds like internals to me.
