No I got that wrong (despite us having one of those nice 4 wheel drive Hyundai
machines here for a while). My brain was Out to lunch that sentence - it goes
all funny when people start getting evangelical about Sun or Intel, it also
goes funny when it sees hipocrits like Oral Roberts and Mrs T, but thats
another story.

Well, should be Solaris shouldn't it? Since raw SunOS gets tweaked by the
vendors (or at least I'm lead to believe it does). Why the hell would people
like Cray want to run SunOS though?
