I use both Esix System V release 3.2 and Coherent v3.1.0.  In terms of
actually using the system, I currently prefer Coherent.  My version of
Sys V does not include manual pages.  My version of Sys V does, however,
include X-windows, Motif, networking and other things - I will eventually
exploit all this, but in 4 MB, it pages too much.  I imagine that as soon
as I get an upgrade, Sys V will be my choice, but Coherent will still be
my UUCP front-end "protecting" the Sys V machine from attack.  All in
all, I really like coherent.  Small model is a slight problem, but
NOT a big one at this time (sorry, no X or TCP/IP, but for $99.00, what
does it matter?)
