[comp.unix.ultrix] BASIC ULTRIX QUESTION

TED@SLACVM.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU (06/08/91)

I'm interviewing next week with a company that uses ULTRIX.  How does it
compare with AT&T System V or UCB Unix ? What shell is most commonly used ?


                                 Thanks in advance,

                                        Terry E. Dillon

Ultrix is derived from BSD4.2, with features from BSD4.3 and System V
compatibility features.  Very little has been lost from BSD4.2, so if
you are familiar with BSD you should have no major problems.  Most
people use csh or one of the command completion csh variants.
