I have used SVr3, SVr4, and BSD/386, and have not come to understand what these people are referring to. Each has different features, and is configured differently, but they seems pretty similar to me. -- Bruce Momjian | 830 Blythe Avenue root%candle.uucp@bts.com | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 + If your life is a hard drive, | (215) 353-9879(w) + Christ can be your backup. | (215) 853-3000(h)
