Info-3b2 Digest, Number 32 Tuesday, October 25th 1988 Today's Topics: NFS for AT&T 3bx's Purpose of 3b news distribution ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: NFS for AT&T 3bx's Date: 25 Oct 88 09:23:23 CDT (Tue) From: btni!mcmi!denny@uunet.UU.NET (Dennis Page) >I know that Unix 4.0 will be NFS based.

This is unfortunate as NFS really sucks canal water. :-) Denny >From: andrew@frip.gwd.tek.com (Andrew Klossner) >Newsgroups: comp.unix.wizards >Subject: More notes from V.4.0 software developer conference (LONG) >Message-ID: <10421@tekecs.TEK.COM> >Date: 4 Oct 88 20:37:18 GMT > >I attended the UNIX V.4.0 conference in Los Angeles.

The philosophy is that NFS is for >heterogenous file sharing (talking to MSDOS and Cray computers), and >RFS is for intra-UNIX machines when full file system semantics are >needed (including talking to remote devices). They said all this with >a perfectly straight face. >... >Both NFS and RFS can be used to page across the net. >From len@netsys.COM (Len Rose) 25 Oct 88 10:43:54 GMT Newsgroups: 3b.config Subject: Purpose of 3b news distribution Summary: an explanation Keywords: new Message-ID: <10814@netsys.COM> Date: 25 Oct 88 10:43:54 GMT Reply-To: len@netsys.COM (Len Rose) Followup-To: 3b.config Distribution: 3b Organization: Netsys,Inc.
