[comp.unix.aux] Looking for experiences on A/UX

jtn@potomac.ads.com (John T. Nelson) (08/28/88)

What are your general opinions of A/UX so far?  Personally I'm looking
for a BSD system (source code prefered) but I was wondering how A/UX
performed, not just in speed but in the portability and compatibility
arenas.

Now this thing is a System V machine right?  So I don't suppose it
uses the fast file system.  How far off the mark is it from BSD Unix?
Can I port socket code to A/UX?  Can I take stuff right off the net and
expect it to compile load and run on A/UX machines with little or no mods?

Etc etc.

Reviews so far seem to be on the negative side.
