	We are trying to decide whether to go with Ultrix 2.0 or Mt Xinu's
4.3BSD + NFS. Any opinions out there ?

	Both have NFS, support for MicroVAX II, source available for
reasonable price to universities (all these points are important to us.)

	It is unclear how much of the 4.3BSD enhancements (e.g. in performance,
networking, etc.) are included in Ultrix 2.0 . It seems clear that Ultrix 2.0
has better Microvax II support (as well as other VAX cpu's like the 8???'s) and
that Ultrix 2.0 has some of the System V stuff (like shared memory, which is
nice).

	Any thoughts ? Thanks.
