I'd have to disagree with that statement.  I've worked on both Sys5 and BSD
based boxes as a kernel hack for several years.  The Vr3 kernel is fairly
clean and easy to work with.   I'd like to say the same for the BSD kernel
but everyone would die laughing.

Furthermore, from a user's viewpoint, if you add one of the (now) common
TCP/IP packages to your SysV box, you end up with 99% of what you want.  For
my money, you can't beat a 386 box running sys5 + tcp/ip + X.  Bang for the
buck, that leaves everyone else in the dust.
