At home I have an old 'advanced UNIX programming' book (from a openu course), and it mentions the most important flavours of UNIX. Linux is not mentioned, (too early) but Xenix is. The funny thing is that the author says that Xenix will probably become one of the most important versions, because it will run on a simple PC and is backed by microsoft and IBM (or something). very funny to read that in retrospect :) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
