Bah, HTML... Anywayz, my question is to you Jerry, and all the other old
DECies out there. How does Tru64 Unix compare to OSF/1 and/or Digital
Unix (version 3 maybe?), and how do those compare to Linux, from an
administrative perspective.
Obviously it's a 64-bit OS, but I'm not really interested in that. I'm
interested in the directory structure, the management commands, how much
free software (i.e. GNU utils) ships with the OS... yada yada yada.
How POSIX compliant is it, is it more SysV or BSD-ish? Comment on this
in whatever way you feel like it.
Just curious...
Thanks
