: Evolving towards what?
: When is SunOS 4.1.4 or 4.2.0 expected to be released?
: When was 4.1.3 released?

The real point is that Solaris 1.x works on most if not all current Sun
hardware.  It doesn't dump core doing a ps or an ls.  It has real YP.
It has lots of PD software.  

Solaris 2.x sucks.
