[comp.os.minix] What's the difference ...

marz@cbnewsb.cb.att.com (martin.zam) (04/06/91)

If Coherent and Minix are not System V release 3, how far off are they?
Can all/most/some applications be ported from System V with a simple
recompile?  If not, what's missing?  For that matter, what if anything
is gained?  I'm wondering about buying one or both of these OS's.

I would really like to hear from users of both System V release 3 and
one of these more affordable alternatives.  

Will these OS's run on a 386 machine?  What do I gain or lose here?
BTW, Is System V release three available for the same hardware as Coherent
and Minix from any vendor?
