I'm definitely waiting maybe 6 mos. or so until a few of the bugs are worked out. (Maybe ESIX will release a product around then...) File names longer than 14 characters, symbolic links, job control -- all in one package. Better (faster) paging/swapping will also be appreciated. I use BSD derived UNIX at work and System V at home. System V release 4 should give me the best of both (but I'll not believe it until I see it). // marc -- // marc@dumbcat.sf.ca.us // {ames,decwrl,sun}!pacbell!dumbcat!marc
