Ehm, that's mayhaps not a great answer as well =P I wonder btw, how did they ever manage to breed Xenix and UnixWare into SCO UnixWare? Or was that Xenix -> OpenServer (heh, who'd known MS would be contributing to the `Open' name ;) ) and Novell UnixWare -> SCO UnixWare? Minix^H^H^H^H^HLinux then? they keep telling that Linux' the answer... What was the question anyways? 4th best OS? (hey, Free, Open and Net have to be 1,2,3... pick any order ye like though) --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven A veil of smoke is what I am, asmodai(at)wxs.nl I wait and I wait...
