And it still has good long term viability, as of 2017, anyway. 2) Solaris - Sun finally got it right starting with Solaris 7, and it just got better from there.  I ran it for many, many years on my Home Ultra 5. Really sad to see what Oracle did to it! I use to have boss say that Solaris was the UNIX geek's UNIX, he might be right ( altho these days that's probably BSD ). 3) Irix - Not the best UNIX, but damn, those workstations it ran on WERE the best.  I miss my Indigo R4K/Elan almost as much as I do my Ultra 5 with Solaris 9 on it! -- -- Derrik Derrik Walker v2.0, RHCE dwalker at doomd.net "Those UNIX guys, they think weird!" -- John C.
