Son, I like Unixware over Solaris too. Remember Interactive UNIX? That was
System V based as well. Sun bought Interactive and pretty much forced all the
Interactive users to switch to Solaris. Those folks didn't much care for
being switched from System V to... um... whatever Solaris is.

"Mister Solaris... I knew System V. I used System V from the mid 80s to
 the present day. I loved System V, System V was a friend of mine. And,
 Mister Solaris, you're no System V."
