So the assumption in Jim's comment is that we should be running a Unix User group, statedly inclusive of all Unix variants (e.g. Solaris etc. too). [Correct me if I'm wrong.]

No, perfectly correct :-) Excepting s/should/could/ (s/sh/c/, more concisely but less legibly)


Of course, there's always the option of a GNU group, that effectively supports users of/interest in Free Software (regardless of its GNUness, that is - dependant on the compatibility of it's license with GNU, perhaps), regardless of computing platform.

Cygwin runs perfectly well on Windows machines - indeed, Cygnus (the originators) were basically the first company making money from Free Software :-)

BSD drew no support and was consequently dropped from the general purview

I suspect the same would be true of some of my other suggestions, too.
