Could someone post a longish article about this subject? I'm
interested in what parts of Mach OSF uses, how its distribution and
licensing works (and how much it costs), what features new to Unix
have been added, how it compares in speed and size with other Unices,
how dependent on Unix entities is it (ie: could you plug in a VMS
server, file system, etc. and run VMS binaries?) and how much control
do big bad wolves, er, companies (IBM, DEC) have over it.
References to other literature about OSF would also be helpful.
Thanx in advance!
PS: Bogus, um, bonus question... When will Sun be convinced to jump
on the Mach bandwagon?
