I made the mistake of selecting 386/ix for my site - and had nothing but problems and the manuals are the pits. Xenix is solid - with most of the bugs worked out. The manuals are written with detailed instructions on how to get and keep the system running in a logical way - where as the 386/ix manuals are at best a hodge-podge and lots of little "gotchas" are included as a bonus. Xenix is solid - 386/ix is right on the edge of a fence ready to fall over at any time. -- Larry Snyder uucp: iuvax!ndcheg!ndmath!nstar!larry The Northern Star Usenet Distribution Site Notre Dame, Indiana USA
