Currently , I am running Ultrix4.4, Digital UNIX4.0, RH Linux/AXP, NT4.0/intel, Caldera Linux/intel, SCO ODT, W95, W95J, SunOS4.1.4, W3.11 And resident but not booted: NetBSD, Solaris2.5, NT4.0/AXP, Digital UNIX 3.2d1, various old OS's There is room for diversity in every home (-: ! By the way... One of these days I will send my realtime enhancements to both you and to the OpenBSD folks.
