Harald, if you delete one line in the NeXT's inittab (so that the
windowing system doesn't start) you'll end up with something very
close to 4.3BSD - It's definitely much cleaner than aix, ultrix,
sunos and a few others that I've had the pleasure/horror (depending
on mode and needs) to work with.

I would not use a next if it didn't have the display postscript 
windowing system so I can't really recommend to not start the
NeXTSTEP environment. The bundled gcc, gdb etc. is in my view
a fine thing. I don't have time to install it on every machine I
use so it's a good thing it's just there...

The next have for a long time had a very nice, free, MIMEmailer.
I use it every now and then instead of the next supplied "nextmail"
with m-m extensions. I wish next would drop their m-m mail format
in favour of MIME, and I've asked them to consider that option.
Anyways, you can still do it the mime way if that's your choise.

Harald, I don't think any of these factors make the next a beast.
You can't really rely on what I say 'cause the company I work for
sell next (among other un*x bokes)... 

Cheers ;-)
