Which is a shame, I think. Digital UNIX is probably one of the best
commercial Unixes I've used. (I still refuse to call it Tru64. Ghawd, what
a stupid name.)
It would be nice if DEC/Compaq/HP/whoever decides to Open Source any OSes
they are end-of-life'ing. Lots of benefits, few pitfalls (with the possible
exception of licensed intellectual property). But I'm not going to hold my
breath for that to happen.
