HP-UNIX?

[MBSmith at dstsystems.com]

I read yesterday that Sun is getting together with representatives from 
the "user community" - apparently the outcry has been much more than they 
expected.  A Sun exec was quoted as not ruling out Solaris 9 on x86 at 
some stage.

Re the sparc box you referred to, I have a SunBlade 100 as my desktop 
machine and it is very nice.  I have KDE running with the usual fancy 
desktop stuff, I just need to remember I'm running Solaris and not 
Linux....

As an interesting side note, I am sure most of you noticed that Sun just
announced that they were stopping development of solaris x86.  This is 
news,
and yet it is not.  They haven't done anything worthwhile in upgrading it
for years.  So, I guess all you solaris on x86 ppl with be forever stuck 
in
the past so to speak.  With the price of a nice little solaris on sparc 
box
from sun these days, having a nice 64-bit machine really is quite 
affordable
anyways.  [I consider under 1k quite cheap]
