Depends on what world you are viewing UNIX from.  In the "REAL" world
(read "business") there is only one choice, AT&T System V.  BSD only
has really only inroads in the university world, no small potatoes
either.

If you've been to the last two years of Uniforums and UNIXExpo's, you
would have seen that the business ($$$) UNIX market is System V.  Even
SunOS is moving away from a BSD-based kernel to an AT&T System V
Release 4 - based kernel.

An Amiga 3000 Unix box can make a significant impact in the business
world.  The educational market is another story...
