We are trying to decide whether to go with Ultrix 2.0 or Mt Xinu's 4.3BSD + NFS. Any opinions out there ? Both have NFS, support for MicroVAX II, source available for reasonable price to universities (all these points are important to us.) It is unclear how much of the 4.3BSD enhancements (e.g. in performance, networking, etc.) are included in Ultrix 2.0 . It seems clear that Ultrix 2.0 has better Microvax II support (as well as other VAX cpu's like the 8???'s) and that Ultrix 2.0 has some of the System V stuff (like shared memory, which is nice). Any thoughts ? Thanks. Cheers, Dan Ts'o Dept. Neurobiology Rockefeller Univ. 1230 York Ave. NY, NY 10021 212-570-7671 ...cmcl2!rna!dan rna!dan@cmcl2.arpa

Ultrix does not have any XNS stuff in it. There may be other omissions of which I am unaware. We will be installing Ultrix v2.0 on an 8700 in the near future. Ask me in a month or two for further opinions. -- -- Art Zemon FileNet Corporation Costa Mesa, California ...!hplabs!felix!zemon
