Amen. I'm starting to grow very weary of Sun shoving their proprietary solutions down the throats of their users (NIS+, for example). Digital UNIX is, IMHO, a much easier platform to develop for and to administrate. It's a shame that DEC has lost so much market ground to what amount to technically inferior solutions (such as Sun). - Dan C.
