======================================================

We will ship the 2.0 version very soon and I imagine most SVR4 
vendors will do the same

Does Dell get its SVR4 from AT&T or from another source like Intel or ISC?
    
Does Dell's SVR4 support a wide range of hardware or mostly Dell hardware?

Does the complete manual set come with it or a subset?  I know the manuals
can be very expensive.  If you get the complete set from Prentice Hall, the
price is around $550 - closer to $600 after taxes.

Including compiled public domain programs is a nice idea - did you run into
any problems, especially with emacs?
