No, BSD is NOT dead - at least not while I can do the following on Solaris 2.x:

So long live BSD features, and long live System V, which has widened Unix appeal

(What is 'FSP' I hear you ask? - Ah, that is a trail which would be off-topic here:)

Well, if you didn't want to discuss Solaris, why post to "comp.unix.solaris"? (HHOS)
