We're getting a VAX 11/780 in this summer and I need help
talking my professor into putting UNIX on it over VMS. I'm running
Berkeley 2.8 UNIX on a PDP 11/23 now. My prof. likes VMS for:
1 - DEC SUPPORT
2 - Engineering Software
3 - DECNET - Lots of PDP's here under RSX,RT11
4 - Ability to give curtain users priority of others? Is this true, can
bsd4.2 do this?
5 - Graphics for VS-11, getting Template. Will this run under UNIX without
too much modifications?
He has some good points here, can anyone help me with arguments
in favor of UNIX bsd4.2? I heard you may be able to run both VMS and UNIX
at the same time? Is this full UNIX bsd4.2, does it take alot of disk, are
there any advantages/disadvantages?
Has anyone gone through the same experience?
As you say here "Thanks in Advance"
