I beg to differ with the gentleman from Sun. I use both Ultrix and
SunOS, and while I usually prefer Sun workstations to timeshared VAXen
or even VAXstations, I don't find Ultrix and SunOS to be as different
from each other as either is from, say, System V or HP-UX, or even a
nominally bsd-flavored Apollo Domain/IX (SR9.x -- I haven't used
SR10.x).
Ultrix is proprietary, but that's a red herring. SunOS is also
proprietary. (I was going to follow the first sentence with "So is
SunOS", then realized that I didn't mean that SunOS is a red herring,
regardless of what Sun's competitors may want the market to believe :))
