Since bill started the flow in this newsgroup, I'd like to know what tahoe is. I've seen it mentioned in different places, but never an explaination. Is it the public domain part of BSD Unix? Thanks, Eric -- Eric ericco@ssl.berkeley.edu

Take your pick, it all depends on what this newsgroup is being used for on any one particular day. Iy you want to know about the hardware (computer not truck) send me mail and I'll boor you to death. -jeffw

The entry in the official newsgroup listing from Gene Spafford says: comp.sys.tahoe CCI 6/32, Harris HCX/7, & Sperry 7000 computers. Another source of confusion is that when Berkeley ported 4.3BSD over to run on the Tahoe hardware, they released a new set of sources and called the distribution "4.3-Tahoe". (It also includes various bug fixes to the utilities.) So, this group was set up to discuss problems/experiences of running Unix on the Tahoe hardware, but hardly anybody is posting. -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: jms@tardis.tymnet.com or jms@gemini.tymnet.com BT Tymnet Tech Services | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-C41 | BIX: smithjoe | 12 PDP-10s still running!
